Fife Flyers unveil new Canadian centreman ‘with high hockey IQ’
Fife Flyers have added another new import to their roster for the forthcoming season.
Lucas Chard joins the club from Wilfrid Laurier University in USports where he was the team’s leading point scorer.
The 22-year old forward recorded 30 points in 24 games, and head coach Tim Wallace hailed the Burlington native as “a skilled centre with a high hockey IQ.”
Chard is the third fourth new import to be unveiled for the 2026-27 season, joining Joona Vainio, Cameron Hough and Chase Dubois.
Prior to his collegiate career, Chard spent three seasons with the London Nationals of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League, recording 185 points in 126 appearances, ranking him sixth on the franchise's all-time point scoring list. He was also named the GOJHL's Most Valuable Player for the 2023/24 season.
Wallace said: “Lucas is a skilled centre with a high hockey IQ and a strong understanding of the game. He has found a way to be effective wherever he has played, and that speaks to his character, adaptability, and work ethic.”
“Lucas will add depth to our line-up and give us another player who can help create offence. I expect him to put the work in this summer, come in prepared, and make the most of this opportunity.”
