Greetings hockey fans! Exciting news out of Montreal today as the Canadiens AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, has made a big coaching hire. Pascal Vincent is now at the helm of the Laval Rocket, marking his second tenure as an AHL head coach. Vincent is no stranger to the AHL, having previously spent five successful seasons with the Manitoba Moose, the AHL team for the Winnipeg Jets.
The decision to bring Vincent on board is a clear vote of confidence in his abilities. As one insider puts it, “Vincent is a highly respected coach in the Quebec hockey ranks. He will be a great fit to mentor players before they join Martin St. Louis with the Habs.”

His teams have consistently made the playoffs, showcasing his ability to develop players and lead them to success.
After his successful stint in the QMJHL, Vincent moved on to the NHL as an assistant coach with the Winnipeg Jets. With a total of 13 seasons of experience in the AHL and NHL, Vincent is well-equipped to guide players from the AHL to the big leagues in Montreal.
But what exactly does Vincent bring to the table? With his proven track record of player development and playoff success, Vincent is the perfect choice to lead the Laval Rocket to new heights.
As we eagerly await the start of the new AHL season, all eyes will be on Pascal Vincent and the Laval Rocket as they aim for success under his leadership. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of hockey.
