Au revoir Jacques Lemaire
NHLHS writer Shannon Caulfield takes a look at the career of legendary coach and player Jacques Lemaire who retired from his bench boss position with the New Jersey Devils, and the NHL.
The National Hockey League has had many influential players to leave a mark, but not many have done it the way Jacques Lemaire has.
His career is legendary with the Montreal Canadiens, and just as influential as a coach. Today April 26th, 2010 it was announced that Jacques Lemaire is retiring at the age of 64 years old. “It’s not the team, it is not the result or the lack of result we had in the playoffs,” a glassy-eyed Lemaire said. “It’s not that at all. It’s the end of the line. I’ll be 65. It’s just time.” Lemaire told AP Sports. President Lou Lamoriello mentioned not having thought about a replacement for Lemaire at the time.
