Montreal Canadiens clean house in the front office

The Montreal Canadiens have announced a trio of firings within the organization on Sunday afternoon including General Manager Marc Bergevin, and assistant general manager Trevor Timmins.

In addition to the firings, Owner Geoff Molson has hired Jeff Gorton as Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations.

"On behalf of myself and the organization, I wish to thank Marc Bergevin, Trevor Timmins, and Paul Wilson for their passion and engagement towards our Club over the last years. Their relentless work allowed our fans to experience many memorable moments, including last summer's playoff run that culminated with the Stanley Cup Final. We wish them all the success they deserve in the pursuit of their careers. I think, however, that the time has come for a leadership change within our hockey operations department that will bring a new vision and should allow our fans and partners to continue cheering for a championship team," said Geoff Molson.
