Canada's World Junior team lit the IIHF on fire this past winter, winning seven straight games en route to the gold medal. Sure, they had Connor McDavid and Samuel Morin and any other number of elite U20 talent, but the man behind the bench wasn't too shabby either.
Benoit Groulx, the 47-year-old head coach of both the Canadian world junior team and the QMJHL's Gatineau Olympiques, could be a candidate for any of the NHL head coaching jobs available this offseason. Might the Flyers be interested? Let's get to know Groulx a bit better.
Benoit Groulx
