Episode Details

Pascal Vincent, the dynamic head coach of the Laval Rocket, is leaving the AHL to join the Seattle Kraken as an assistant coach for the 2025-26 season — a move that rewards his stellar two-year turnaround. Under his leadership, the Rocket dominated the AHL, winning back-to-back North Division titles, finishing atop the league with 101 points, and earning him AHL Coach of the Year honors. His ability to develop NHL-ready talent and instill confidence in his players made him indispensable — and the Canadiens’ decision to let him pursue this opportunity speaks volumes. While his departure leaves a void in Montreal’s system, it’s a well-earned leap for a coach who proved himself one of the AHL’s sharpest minds.
