Beaulieu to the Knights

London Free Press recently had an article about the re-hiring of Jacques Beaulieu with the London Knights. He is being welcomed back with open arms by the organization he won a Memorial Cup with in 2005.

"I don't think I failed," he said. "When you fail, it's different, it's
harder to accept. I did a lot of good things. They won 15 games their inaugural
year, 20 the year after then 41 and 37. We put the program on the map and the
final four last year. I was quite happy with what I achieved here."
