According to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports in Quebec, former Vancouver Canucks forward Alexandre Burrows will no longer be an assistant coach with the Montreal Canadiens because he wants to spend more time with his family.
One day after Lavoie's report, the Canadiens made it official. Alexandre Burrows has decided to step away from his coaching role on the team and has been hired by the Canadiens in the Player Development department.
Burrows, 43, joined the Canadiens organization in 2019 as a coach for their AHL team in Laval before being promoted to the big club in Montreal as an assistant coach in early 2021, helping them reach the Stanley Cup Final that same year.
