Jacques Beaulieu Charged With Assault

Well, this isn’t good.

The London Free Press reports tonight that “Sarnia Sting head coach Jacques Beaulieu is charged with two counts of assault in a weekend dust-up at a Strathroy-area home.”

Also, “police are investigating his 20-year-old son Nathan Beaulieu — a top NHL prospect who’s joined the Montreal Canadiens’ looming playoff run — in the same incident just outside the hockey player’s hometown, Windsor lawyer Patrick Ducharme said Monday.”

We're not interested in starting rumours or speculation about this kind of stuff on here, so read the Free Press article for all the details on the investigation.

Jacques Beaulieu was behind the Sea Dogs bench from 2006-2009 while Nathan Beaulieu played the Dogs from 2008-2012. Jacques was fired as head coach and general manager at the end of the 2008-09 season while Nathan stayed with the club and won two President Cup titles and a Memorial Cup.

Today, Jacques Beaulieu was named one of the finalists for the OHL’s Coach of the Year Award. Sarnia finished the regular season with a 35-28-1-4 record, placing them seventh in the Western Conference. They were swept out of the playoffs in the first-round by the Plymouth Whalers.

The Montreal Canadiens recalled Nathan Beaulieu from the AHL last week.
