Former Canadiens player Scott Gomez did not have a successful stint during his years in Montreal. Nevertheless, he found a job in the hockey world.
After serving as an assistant coach for two seasons with the New York Islanders, the former centerman is returning to the day-to-day management of a hockey team.
Scott Gomez has been appointed head coach and general manager of a team in the BCHL, the junior hockey league in British Columbia.
The Surrey Eagles will rely on the Calder Trophy winner from 1999-2000 as their new hockey boss.
Gomez had always expressed interest in working within an organization after his playing career.
Despite a respectable NHL career, highlighted by a Stanley Cup win, Scott Gomez will forever be remembered for his challenging times after being traded from the Rangers for Ryan McDonagh, while wearing the Canadiens jersey.
