There, he took a 4th place team to the Conference Championship. The following season the club finished first in the Adams division. After the 1984-85 season Lemaire came out from behind the bench and became the Canadiens’ GM. As GM, Lemaire won his ninth and tenth Stanley Cups: from 1993-98 he was head coach of the New Jersey Devils, where he won his eleventh In the Minnesota Wild’s seven completed seasons the team has made the playoffs three times.
