The Colorado Avalanche and San Antonio Rampage have announced that Eric Veilleux has been hired as head coach for the AHL affiliate starting in the upcoming 2016-17 season. Veilleux began his coaching career in the Quebec Major Junior League in 2005 where he spent the next nine years accumulating 346 wins for a .579 win percentage. His time was split between the Shawinigan Cataractes (2005-12) and Baie-Comeau Drakkar (2012-14).

The 44-year-old coach was no stranger to winning. He took the teams to playoffs in each of those years, making it to the President’s Cup Final twice with Baie-Comeau and once with Shawinigan.
