Philippe Bozon.

The first French player to play in the NHL, Philippe Bozon is an example of tenacity and motivation.

His leadership, his desire to drive the team forward, made him a player always essential to his coaches and teammates.

An example of self-sacrifice, he always put the team's interests before his own – even when injured, he never hesitated to return to the arena – Philippe Bozon invariably left a lasting impression on the fans of the clubs he played for.

In 2006, with nearly 650 professional matches under his belt (including 189 with the French national team), he hung up his skates. However, he did not leave the world of ice hockey: between 2004 and 2009, Philippe Bozon held the position of Director of Training and Junior Movement at Genève-Servette Hockey Club before embarking on a coaching career. First in Switzerland, where he coached Lugano (a club he had played for between 1999 and 2001) then Sierre. During the 2014-2015 season, he was at the head of the Gaymo d'Épinal. He led them to the finals of the Magnus League before being, due to a lack of agreement, forced to find a new challenge. Since March 2016, he has been the coach of the Boxers de Bordeaux.Languages spoken by the speaker
