Sylvain Lefebvre doesn’t know if he will be back next season as head coach of the Laval Rocket, a team that has the worst record in the AHL (24-40-10) with two games remaining in the regular season.

“I haven’t talked to anybody,” Lefebvre said about the Canadiens’ management team after the Rocket practised Thursday morning at Place Bell. “I’m a guy who lives the moment. I know life will take me where I need to be. If it’s to come back here in Laval, I will give everything I have just like I did the past six years. I love my job, I do it with passion. I come to the rink every day and I know I’m going to learn every day. I know it’s been a tough go, but I’ve learned so much. It’s unbelievable how much I’ve learned and how much the staff has learned. It’s when there’s adversity and when there’s tough times that you learn the most, most of the time.”

The Canadiens’ farm team has made the AHL playoffs only once in six years with Lefebvre as head coach, losing in the first round last year as the St. John’s IceCaps before the franchise moved to Laval.
