Benoît Groulx is making a comeback in the hockey world. The professional coach has accepted a challenge in the KHL and will be back behind the bench of a team in Russia next season.
The Quebecois head coach took a one-year break after serving as the head coach of the Lightning's farm team for 7 years.
He will taste his first European coaching experience in what observers consider the second-best league in the world.
"The coach of the Canadian team that won gold at the World Junior Hockey Championship in 2015, Benoît Groulx, has been named the head coach of Traktor (2-year contract)" - official KHL account on X.
It's an interesting return to the hockey world for a potential chance as the head coach of an NHL team. That's the one accomplishment Benoît Groulx has yet to achieve in his career.
