David Savard has found a job, but not with the Canadiens

Because that’s the reality of a new NHL retiree: the guy has given so much to hockey that he needs to take time away from his sport to be with his family. But… Because yes, there’s a “but” in all of this. In reality, guys like David Savard have given their lives to hockey because they love it. So keeping one foot in the sports world, while being more at home, is a good challenge that can be stimulating. That’s why some guys take time before jumping back into another project, but others don’t. [content-ads]And on this subject, we learned this morning that David Savard, who is being considered for a position with the Canadiens to help with youth development, has found himself a job… but not with the Habs.

According to Martin Leclerc, who wrote about the former defenseman for Radio-Canada, Savard has teamed up with Paul Boutilier in a project called 44 seconds.

Basically, it’s a company that helps NHL defensemen and defensemen who aspire to the big leagues, including the QMJHL. David Savard was a Boutilier customer and he became a partner.Noah Dobson and David Reinbacher are 44 seconds customers, by the way.Basically, the goal is to send videos to customers to dissect their play on the ice. It goes from information gathering to stick positioning to… anything else, really. in short, it’s like coaching, but in the form of consultation. content-ads]Clearly, when you see the job description, it’s clear that this is right up David Savard’s alley, as he is a mentor at heart.

Just recently, he was seen on the ice in Brossard, dressed as a coach.

Obviously, one has to wonder what the Habs think of this. Is Savard still in a position to help the Habs if need be? Did the Habs know that this project was in the Québécois’ plans? These are good questions to ask. But I don’t get the feeling that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton heard the news this morning. Asfar as I can tell, they already knew.[spacer title=’en rafale’]- It starts on Wednesday.
