Eagles athletic therapist moving up

"Much is said and written about players developing in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and moving on to new challenges in professional hockey. Sometimes we hear of coaches doing the same thing.

Chabbert has accepted a position with the Winnipeg Jets organization. He will join the Jets American Hockey League affiliate in St. John’s, Newfoundland as that team’s new Athletic Therapist effective immediately.

Originally from Winnipeg, Chabbert spent the past three seasons with the Screaming Eagles after graduating from the University of Manitoba.
