The Silvain Favreau era has come to an end with the Halifax Mooseheads. The Mooseheads announced on Monday that the bench boss resigned as the club’s head coach, citing personal reasons for his departure.

“I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire organization. I am grateful for the support, collaboration and camaraderie I have experienced throughout my tenure with the Mooseheads,” Favreau said.

Favreau joined Halifax in 2017 as an Assistant Coach and compiled a 88-48 record in 136 games for the last two seasons as Head Coach. Favreau coached the Mooseheads to a Maritimes Division title in 2022-23 and a berth in the QMJHL’s Gilles Courteau Trophy Finals with the second-best record in franchise history at 50-11-4-3.

“We would like to thank Sylvain for his unwavering commitment, dedication and immense contributions to the Mooseheads the last six years. We wish him the best in his future,” said Sam Simon, Chairman and Owner of the Halifax Mooseheads, and Peter Simon, President of Simon Sports.

In a media release Monday afternoon, the Mooseheads said that the search for a new Head Coach would begin immediately.
