The Jonquière Elites of the U18 AAA Hockey Development League have a new President. This is Sylvain St-Pierre, who already holds the position at junior baseball club Voyageurs de Jonquière.
Sylvain St-Pierre succeeds Michel Simard, who has been in office for 18 years. The businessman, owner of the Cora restaurant in Chicoutimi, wants to apply the same philosophy as the voyageurs to the development of elite marketing.
Also, for the next season, he wants to introduce a code of conduct for parents to avoid situations like that of the Gauls of Saint-Hyacinthe.
There are meetings that we need to have with the governor and with people from the organization. After everything that happened with the Saint-Hyacinthe coach resigning due to parental pressure, I don’t want us to go through that. […] The meeting with the parents will be essential; We’re really going to tell the real stuff so parents know where we’re going
argued Sylvain St-Pierre.
The new President also plans to actively participate in team decisions. More announcements will be made by next season.
In addition, Mario Julien, director of studies at the Cégep de Jonquière, was appointed governor of the elites.
