REPORT: Jacques Beaulieu off to Sarnia

Former Saint John Sea Dogs head coach and general manager Jacques Beaulieu is set to join the Ontario Hockey League’s Sarnia Sting.

The London Free Press reports that the Sting will name Beaulieu their new head coach and general manger tomorrow at a press conference. Beaulieu, the father of Sea Dogs defenseman Nathan, has been an assistant coach with the London Knights for the past two seasons.

Beaulieu was named Sea Dogs head coach for the 2006-07 season and was handed the general manager tag mid-season. He was fired at the end of the 2008-09 campaign after Saint John was swept out of the first round of the playoffs.

Beaulieu deserves a lot of credit for the Sea Dogs’ success over the last two seasons after he pulled off some unreal trades at the 2008 deadline.
