Guy Charron

Guy Joseph Jean Charron, born January 24, 1949, is a Canadian former professional ice hockey centre and coach who played in the NHL from 1969 to 1981. A product of the Montreal Canadiens' system, Charron played twenty games with the Canadiens before he was traded during the middle of the 1970–71 season to the Detroit Red Wings in the deal that sent Frank Mahovlich to Montreal. He remained with the Red Wings until he was traded to the expansion Kansas City Scouts in 1974. Prior to the 1976–77 season, Charron signed as a free agent with the Washington Capitals, where he played until his retirement following the 1980–81 season, serving as the Capitals' captain during the 1978–79 season. Despite appearing in 734 NHL regular season games, he never played in a single playoff game.

Charron later worked as an assistant coach with five NHL teams from 1990 to 2008. He served brief stints as a head coach with the Calgary Flames in 1992 and with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim during the 2000–01 season. He went on to coach the WHL's Kamloops Blazers from 2010 to 2013, and briefly served as commissioner of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League in 2018.
