Lions Recognize Veteran Coaches During Celebration Of 50 Consecutive Victories

Following last weekend's win against Richelieu which gave the Lions their 50th consecutive victory, the team held an informal and impromptu celebration in their locker room last night to mark the milestone event and to recognize the accomplishments of 3 veteran coaches that have been with the team throughout all 50 games. 

Along with the pizza, drinks, and cake that were enjoyed by all, a presentation was made to coaches Jason Jourdenais (HC), Jim Aiken (DC), and Alan Baum (RB) in recognition of the fact that they have been a large part of the success for these 50 games.  Former team captains and managers along with representatives of the NSFL were on hand to take part in the festivities and go over some of the memories of the past four seasons. From here, the Lions will continue to strive to keep this streak alive so that they can reach their next milestone next season by beating the team record of 57 straight wins which was achieved in 1977. 

Special thanks go out to Mr. Gary Grace for all of the research and hard work that he put in to make this event happen as well as to photographer Americo Valente for putting together such impressive plaques to be presented to our coaches.
