Jean-François Houle (born January 14, 1975) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player. He currently serves as the head coach for the Clarkson Golden Knights in the ECAC Hockey conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[1][2]

Collegiate career

Houle attended Clarkson University where he played NCAA Division I hockey with the Clarkson Golden Knights men's ice hockey team. He was selected in the fourth round, 99th overall, by the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft.[3]

Coaching career

In 2002, following a five-year career as a professional hockey player, Houle re-joined the Clarkson Golden Knights as an assistant coach. In 2010, he accepted the position of head coach for the Lewiston MAINEiacs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), and, the following season, assumed the head coaching role with the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.[4]

Houle was the head coach of the Bakersfield Condors during their last season in the ECHL.[5] He was then hired by the Edmonton Oilers to be an assistant coach of their relocated American Hockey League (AHL) franchise that became the Bakersfield Condors in 2015, where he remained until 2021, after which he joined the Laval Rocket.[6]

Personal life

Houle is the son of longtime Montreal Canadiens forward and general manager Réjean Houle.[7]
