The Montreal Canadiens announced personnel changes to the team’s video department on Monday.
A page of history turns, when after 25 seasons with the team as a video service instructor, Mario Leblanc announced to the team management that he was retiring from the position and his responsibilities at full-time. He will remain involved in the organization, working in particular within the hockey development department.
Daniel Harvey is promoted to video department coach. Last season, Harvey held the same position with the Laval Rocket on Jean-François Houle’s coaching staff.
“On behalf of the entire organization, I want to thank Mario for all his years of loyal service to the Canadiens,” general manager Kent Hughes said in a statement. Working behind the scenes for over 25 years, Mario held a key role on the coaching staff. At the same time, I want to congratulate Daniel on his arrival in the team. »
Boisvert and Audette contracts renewed
In addition, our colleague Stéphane Leroux confirmed that the contracts of recruiters Serge Boisvert and Donald Audette have been renewed. These would be two-year contracts, with an option year.
In the wake of everything that happened with the #CH Could this have gone unnoticed?
