A new video instructor for the Canadian

DAY

After 25 years as a video service instructor, Mario Leblanc has decided to take a step back. He is retiring from his role, but will remain involved with the hockey department of the Montreal Canadiens. 

Daniel Harvey, who held the same role with the Laval Rocket last season, has meanwhile been promoted, the organization announced on Monday.

“On behalf of the entire organization, I want to thank Mario for all his years of loyal service with the Canadiens, said the director General Kent Hughes, 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 on the team.”

Head coach Martin St-Louis' staff is not making a first change this summer. Stéphane Robidas has notably been hired as an assistant to replace Luke Richardson, who was recently appointed pilot for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Present during the last campaign, Alexandre Burrows, Trevor Letowski and Éric Raymond will be for their return share.
