DUHAMEL FRUSTRATED WITH VOLTS IN LOSS
"Faced with a club as formidable as the Sea Dogs, they had to be ready from the first minute, which was not the case. In the first half, the boys seemed impressed. They gave a better effort in the second and it was transported in the third period. We must however be more consistent in our efforts, "said Drummondville head coach Mario Duhamel to L’Express.
"If we had played from the start as we did in the second portion of the game, the result would have been more positive," said the coach. “Over the last two games, it was found that as soon as we drop our guard, we pay the price. When we play in our identity, it is nevertheless able to compete with the best. "
Duhamel sent his resume to the Sea Dogs in the summer in an attempt to fill their coaching vacancy.
