P.E.I. Rocket extends contract for coach The Guardian
Goaltending coach Jamie Blanchard is returning to the P.E.I. Rocket for 2007-08, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League club announced Friday.
In a release, Serge Savard Jr., Rocket president and general manager, said Blanchard’s contract has been extended. Terms and conditions were not released.
“I am very happy that Jamie has accepted our offer to continue working with our organization,’’ Savard said in the release.
“He has been with us since the beginning and has worked very hard over the years with players such as Ryan Mior and Antoine Lafleur. I am looking forward to Jamie working with our young goaltenders such as Evan Mosher.’’
This comes on the heels of the Rocket’s hiring of Corrado Micalef as assistant coach earlier this month.
Micalef is a former QMJHL goaltender and a fourth-round selection of the Detroit Red Wings in 1981.
In an earlier Guardian story, Savard said the pair will work together in Charlottetown but because Blanchard doesn’t travel with the team, Micalef will be an asset to Rocket goaltenders on the road.
