Athletistic / Hockey. Famous Canadian specialist Benoit Groux has been appointed to the position of head coach of Chelyabinsk Traktor. Sport-Express was the first to broadcast information on this subject.
According to the source, the contract between Gru and the Russian club is valid for two seasons, until May 31, 2026.
Previously, Benoit Groux worked in the Canadian junior leagues, as well as with the Canadian youth team (from 2007 to 2013, as well as in 2015, when he was head coach). Last season, the 56-year-old Canadian managed the AHL team Syracuse Crunch.
It is worth noting that Gru replaced Alexey Zavarukhin, who held this position since November last year, as head coach of Traktor. In the 2023/2024 season, the Bears reached the semi-finals of the KHL playoffs, where they lost to Lokomotiv Yaroslavl with a score of 0-4 in the series.
