The Halifax Mooseheads are on the hunt for a new head coach, as Sylvain Favreau has announced his resignation after six seasons on the bench with the QMJHL team.
Favreau, a native of Orleans, Ont., joined the Mooseheads in 2017 as an assistant coach. During 136 games as head coach over the last two seasons, he compiled a record of 88-48.
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire organization. I am grateful for the support, collaboration and camaraderie I have experienced throughout my tenure with the Mooseheads,” Favreau said in a news release issued by the team on Monday afternoon.
Favrueau is leaving for personal reasons, the release said.
As head coach, the team had a Maritimes Division title in 2022-23 and reached the QMJHL’s Gilles Courteau Trophy finals with the second-best record in franchise history at 50-11-4-3.
The team says it is searching for a new head coach immediately.
