BROSSARD – Nine months after officially closing the book on his playing career, Francis Bouillon is getting a whole new perspective on the game of hockey.
On Sunday, the 40-year-old former defenseman hit the ice on the South Shore at the Canadiens’ Development Camp as a guest coach, sharing valuable knowledge and expertise with prospects and invitees at the Bell Sports Complex through the final day of the annual gathering come Thursday.
Bouillon, who met with members of the media on Monday afternoon, confirmed that the Canadiens had extended the offer to him a few months ago.
