Sylvain Lefebvre was recently relieved of his coaching duties at the head of the Laval Rocket, the American Hockey League farm team of the Montreal Canadiens. While the announcement of his replacement is pending, it’s an opportune time to take a look back at the history of the coaches behind the bench of the minor-league club, responsible for guiding the next generation of Canadiens players in their first forays into the world of professional hockey.
Paul Bordeleau was rumoured to be taking over the coaching position in Chicoutimi before being announced by Montreal Canadien General Manager Serge Savard as the new head coach of the Fredericton Canadiens, signing a two-year deal.
