Guy Joseph Jean Charron (born January 24, 1949) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey centre and coach. He played in the NHL from 1969 to 1981, and he was an assistant coach with five NHL teams from 1990 to 2008. He served brief stints as a head coach with the Calgary Flames in 1992 and with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim during the 2000–01 season. He later served as the head coach of the WHL's Kamloops Blazers from 2010 to 2013. Charron briefly was the commissioner of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League in 2018.[1][2]
Playing career
[edit]Originally a product of the Montreal Canadiens' system, Charron played twenty games with the Canadiens before he was traded during the middle of the 1970–71 NHL season to the Detroit Red Wings in the monster deal that sent Frank Mahovlich to Montreal. He played with the Red Wings until he was traded to the expansion Kansas City Scouts in 1974. Prior to the 1976–77 NHL season, Charron signed as a free agent with the Washington Capitals, where he played until his retirement following the 1980–81 NHL season. He served as the Capitals' captain during the 1978–79 season. Despite playing in 734 NHL regular season games, he never appeared in a single playoff game, which was an NHL record until Olli Jokinen broke it early in the 2008–09 season.
Awards
