Believe it or not, the Laval Rocket are currently the best team in the entire American Hockey League. That says a lot about the prospects coming to Montreal, and it says a lot about head coach Pascal Vincent.

From the moment he was hired by Kent Hughes, it was clear that Vincent was overqualified to be just an “ordinary” AHL coach, he clearly deserves a job in the National Hockey League as a head coach.

After this historic season for the Laval Rocket, don’t be surprised if the organization unfortunately loses Pascal Vincent to another NHL team that decides to make him its head coach.

Pascal Vincent will attract interest for an NHL head coaching job

This will be something to watch in the coming months.

“With the Laval Rocket leading the AHL, head coach Pascal Vincent will likely receive calls from NHL teams for next season.”

His name is coming up more and more.

“Quite enjoyed the Laval Rocket game tonight. Pascal Vincent deserves heaps of praise for what he’s done with this group.

He got such a raw deal in Columbus. Realistically the guy should already be coaching in the show”

Matt Drake

And yes, he deserves a spot in the big league.

 

 

 

It’s a tricky situation because we don’t want to lose him, but at the same time, we hope he finds a well-deserved permanent position in the NHL.

Stay tuned!
