Leblanc, 59, has been employed by CH since 1996. He will remain “involved” with the Habs, particularly in the hockey development department.
To succeed him, the Canadian promoted Daniel Harvey, who held the same position with the Laval Rocket school club last season. He had previously performed similar duties with the Concordia University Stingers.
Video coaches, in particular, cut sequences of players, those of the home team as well as the opponent, in order to isolate individual and collective elements, with a view to preparing before matches or to make corrections afterwards. .
