Claude Julien was named the new head coach of the New Jersey Devils in a press conference on Tuesday.
Julien’s last coaching gig was with the Montreal Canadiens, who let him go in January, but it wasn’t long before he found another job. Ironically, all 3 of the Stanley Cup victories by the New Jersey Devils were under the coaching of a coach who was previously in the Canadiens’ organization.
Julien will have a veteran lineup to work with in New Jersey, a team that has always been expected to be a powerhouse in the NHL.
Since 1995, the Devils has won the Stanley Cup 3 times, and they hope that Claude Julien is the next coach to lead them back to the finals.
