The Laval Rocket has been searching for a new head coach since Jean-François Houle's departure. A surprise resignation could lead to an appointment.
The Syracuse Crunch confirms that Quebecois Daniel Jacob is leaving the organization. He had joined his close friend Joel Bouchard in the United States for a new challenge in the American Hockey League with the Lightning organization.
Jacob had previously coached the Rocket in Laval during the Bouchard era. Many view this surprising announcement as a potential future appointment at the Laval Rocket.
Jacob could potentially return to the Canadiens' organization. Would it be as head coach or assistant, as he was before?
The #Crunch of Syracuse announced today the departure of assistant coach Daniel Jacob by mutual agreement.
Don't be surprised to see him return with the #Rocket instead of Kelly Buchberger #AHL.
