With two (2) years remaining on his Junior A eligibility and one (1) year remaining on his Major Junior eligibility, Lyons has the ability to make a powerful impact with his remaining Junior career before becoming a full-time professional in the National Lacrosse League. Powerful performances like the 2018 WJLC Gold Medal Game, where Lyons scored 3 Goals and added 1 Assist running out the back door, will be expected in his transition from junior to the professional ranks.
