Canadiens Affiliate Coach Pascal Vincent Hit with Major News from Laval
Since his arrival in Laval, Pascal Vincent has done excellent work, turning the Rocket into one of the AHL's top teams last season.
Pascal Vincent has extensive coaching experience in the hockey world.
He began in the NHL with the Winnipeg Jets as an assistant coach for 5 seasons.
He then served as head coach in the American Hockey League for 5 more seasons with the Manitoba Moose.
"He's truly unique. He's what I would consider a new age coach."
"If you ask the man a question, he's going to pause, then he's going to give you a really good, concise answer. It's not going to be 10 minutes long - like my answer to this one. It'll be exactly what he's thinking. It's well thought out and he'll be convicted. He believes it." - Paul Maurice

Vincent later moved to Columbus as an assistant before being promoted to head coach.
That lasted only one season before he returned to the Laval Rocket.
However, he did receive a very special recognition from the city of Laval.
Pascal Vincent Honored by the City of Laval
In tribute to his outstanding contribution, Pascal Vincent was recently celebrated as part of the festivities marking the 60th anniversary of the City of Laval.

After this season, one might wonder why the coach hasn't yet received a formal offer from an NHL team, but it's fair to say that it will likely come soon.
