Canadiens’ participation in search for Lions head coach was a “positive process”

In early June, the Lions de Trois-Rivières unveiled their team name and logo, and this was generally very well received on social media for the new ECHL affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens. Here’s the announcement in case you missed it:

La ECHL à Trois-Rivières, ça se passe maintenant! Joins-toi à nous pour ce moment historique dès maintenant.

After the branding, the next step was to start putting together the personnel, including the announcement of their choice for head coach, which landed on former NHL player Éric Bélanger.
