The Montreal Canadiens confirmed what was previously reported less than an hour ago: general manager Kent Hughes announced Wednesday afternoon that head coach Dominique Ducharme was relieved of his duties earlier today.
While the news of his firing is not shocking, the Canadiens noted that status of assistant coaches Alex Burrows, Éric Gravel, Mario Leblanc, Trevor Letowski, Éric Raymond and Luke Richardson remains unchanged and that the Habs’ new head coach remains unknown at the moment.
The next head coach will be announced later today.
Since being named head coach in February 2021, Ducharme registered a 23-46-14 record in 83 regular season games at the helm of the Canadiens. In the playoffs, he posted a 13-6 record in 19 games, leading the Canadiens to their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 1993.
