WORCESTER, Mass. – The Worcester Railers faced off against the Trois-Rivières Lions on Saturday evening, at the DCU Center in the first of a two game set between the North Division rivals for the weekend. The Trois-Rivières Lions would jump out to a first period 4-0 lead, and eventually end up with a 5-2 win over the Railers. But the evening was highlighted for the Worcester fans in attendance as a 25th Anniversary remembrance, and Honoring of the Six Worcester Firefighters who lost their lives on December 3rd, 1999, battling a horrific fire at the Worcester Cold Storage building on Franklin St. in Worcester.
