Being 1-9-0-0 in your last 10 games as head coach of the Gatineau Olympiques just isn’t good enough. The franchise is one of the best in the history of the QMJHL and is in danger of finishing below .500 for the first time in years.
The head coach of the Olympiques, Jérôme Dupont, announced his resignation Saturday. The Ottawa native will remain with the organization as a consultant until further notice. Guy Lalonde will assume the coaching duties until a successor is found.
The move comes just three days after losing 7-5 to the Saint John Sea Dogs on home ice. It was a game where the Sea Dogs lead 6-1 after two periods. Since that game, the Piques finally found the win column thanks to a shootout win over Montreal. Yesterday they lost 7-0 to the surging Drummondville Voltigeurs.
One of the Olympiques’ worst loss of the season came when they lost 8-0 to the Dogs on January 24.
Dupont had a 59-49 record as the Olympiques’ bench boss in just under two seasons with the club.
