Legendary Hockey Figure Returns to the Quebec Fold. In a major move that's set to send shockwaves through the NHL, the Montreal Canadiens have announced the hiring of former Detroit Red Wing Newsy Lalonde as their new assistant coach. Lalonde, a Hall of Famer and one of the most iconic figures in Canadiens history, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role, having played for the team from 1910 to 1917 and later serving as a coach and executive. With his deep understanding of the team's rich history and his own storied past, Lalonde is poised to play a key role in shaping the future of the Canadiens. As the team looks to bounce back from a disappointing season, Lalonde's addition is seen as a bold move that could have a significant impact on the team's fortunes.
