Hockey legend Charles Henry resigns

Press Release

GATINEAU, Saturday, May 29, 2010 - After 25 years of loyal service, Charles Henry rendered yesterday his resignation to the President of the Gatineau Olympiques. The organization is surprised and disappointed by his decision.

It is true that the imminent hiring of a new general manager and head coach was part of the succession plan of the team, but the intent of the organization was to implicate Mr. Henry as an Ambassador and Special Advisor assigned to different projects.

Charles Henry deserved to become an ambassador for life. He was a great builder, not only with the Gatineau Olympiques, but also in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Generations of coaches have benefited through the years, oh his wealth of experience.

The Gatineau Olympiques would like to thank him for all his efforts and dedication. The organization ensures that there will always be a place for him with the Olympiques and wishes one day to honour Charles Henry for his many accomplishments.
