Report: JM Finds a Bench Boss for Amerks
by Donny Rivette on Aug 21, 2008 10:59 AM EDT
According to the Ottawa Sun, the next head coach of the Amerks will be: Benoit Groulx. No, I hadn't heardd of him previously; I wasn't an overly enthusiastic supporter of the Gatineau Olympiques, either.
Never having seen him, I have to believe the caption for this photo, though while in French, stated it is, indeed, Coach Groulx.
He appears to have a pretty solid record of success. I think it has a lot to do with that awesome "x" in his name...that indicates superior hockey breeding.
Look forward to learning more...and seeing the hiring announced officially if it is indeed the real deal.
