Guy Carbonneau (b. March 18 , 1960 in Sept-Iles , Quebec ) is a former Ice Hockey player in the National Hockey League whose main productive years were with the Montreal Canadiens . Carbonneau was drafted 44th overall in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens. His strong play as a defensive forward helped the Canadiens to a Stanley Cup championship in 1986 , followed by three Frank J. Selke Trophy wins in 1988 , 1989 , and 1992 . In 1989-90 he was named the Captain of the Canadiens, and led them to another Stanley Cup win in 1993 . In 1994 he was traded to the St. Louis Blues , playing there for one season before moving to the Dallas Stars . He earned his third Stanley Cup ring in 1999 with the Stars, and retired from playing following the 1999-00 Season . After a brief period as an assistant coach with the Canadiens, Carbonneau moved back to the Dallas Stars where he worked as an assistant General Manager until moving back to Montréal in January 2006. In 2005, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League created the Guy Carbonneau Trophy (Trophée Guy Carbonneau) , awarded annually to the player in the QMJHL judged to be the best defensive forward. On January 14th, 2006, it was announced that Guy Carbonneau would become the Montreal Canadiens associate coach as Claude Julien is fired and Bob Gainey assumes interim head coach as well as GM; Carbonneau will take over the Habs' head-coaching job at the end of the season. As to who his assistant coach will be when he does take over Bob Gainey's spot as head coach is still uncertain. CAREER STATS SEE ALSO |
