Kent Hughes announces the surprise departure of a Habs coach
The general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, has just announced the departure of a member of the organization.
The one who was partially in charge during the Montreal Canadiens’ training camps, and who was especially a highly respected coach with the Habs’ affiliate club, Kelly Buchberger will not be returning next season.
See the official announcement.
Details will follow, but this is obviously a significant loss for the Montreal Canadiens organization and for the development of young players.
Some saw him potentially alongside Martin St-Louis, but that will ultimately not be the case.
We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours.
Buchberger notably quickly developed a special bond with Arber Xhekaj.
