Michel Bergeron (hockey Coach)

Michel Bergeron (born June 12, 1946, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a former National Hockey League head coach.

Bergeron coached the Quebec Nordiques from 1980 to 1987 before being traded to the New York Rangers for a first round draft pick and $75 000, a first in the NHL history. With two games remaining in the 1988–89 NHL season he was relieved of his duties and replaced by Phil Esposito. Bergeron had a second stint as Nordiques coach during the 1989–90 NHL season.

Bergeron's nicknames included "Le Tigre" ("The Tiger") and "Napoleon", in reference to his fiery temper, small stature, and French lineage.

Bergeron currently serves as a panelist on the hockey talk show "l'antichambre" which is broadcast on the French Canadian sports channel RDS.
