I'm the current head coach for the Minnesota Wild.
Playing Career:
Playing his entire NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens, Lemaire earned the Stanley Cup a remarkable eight times. One of only five players to have scored two Stanley Cup winning goals he was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984. Following his retirement in 1979, Lemaire travelled to Switzerland to begin a career in coaching. Lemaire, a model of consistency, scored at least 20 goals in each of his 12 seasons. In 853 NHL games he recorded 366 goals and 469 assists for 835 points.
Coaching Career:
Lemaire was head coach of the Canadiens from 1983-1985 and the New Jersey Devils from 1993 to 1998, winning the Stanley Cup in 1995 and the Jack Adams Award in 1994 and 2003. Lemaire has been head coach of the Minnesota Wild since June 19, 2000, the first ever (and only) head coach of the organization.
