Bilingualism and the NHL

The Montreal Gazette reports that the team is in turmoil about whether the new head coach needs to be able to speak English as well as French. With the exception of one coach, since the "early 1980s, every Canadiens head coach...has been fluent in French, and former team president Pierre Boivin went as far as to say it was an absolute requirement for the job." I kind of love Montreal.
