Life Outside the NHL
Full Name: Normand G.
Dube
Also Known as: Normand
Dube
Other Post-Draft Teams:
Sherbrooke (QUAA); Springfield (AHL); Providence (AHL); Beauce (NAHL);
Quebec (WHA); Binghamton, Nova Scotia (AHL); Sierre, Martigny (Switzerland)
Coaching Career: Was a player-coach
for Sierre (Switzerland) from 1983 to 1985, when he retired as a player.
He continued coaching in Switzerland with Chaux-de-Fonds in 1985-86 and
then became the head coach of Martigny prior to the 1986-87 season. He
remained head coach of Martigny until a Jan. 17, 1988, incident in which
he was accused of assaulting on-ice officials while coaching a game
involving Martigny's junior team. On Feb. 22, 1988, the Swiss league
banned Dube through the end of the 1988-89
season. He returned to Martigny prior to the 1991-92 season and coached
the team through the 1992-93 season. In 1989, Dube filed a lawsuit
against the Swiss league over damages related to the ban, because the
incident did not involve an actual league game, and he won the suit in
November 1993. The league countersued, and the case was eventually settled in 1994.
