She also served as an assistant coach for Collège Français de Lungueuil and helped the team to a top four finish on the Centennial Cup 2022 – Canada’s National Junior a Championship. Bois also contributed to the program of excellence of Hockey Québec at both the U16 and U18 levels, so that the U18 team led two years in a row to a National Championship (2023 and 2024).
“I am very happy that I am adding myself to the New York Sirens as an assistant coach,” said Bois. “Deze organisatie komt echt in overeenstemming met mijn waarden, vooral in haar toewijding om een sterk team te bouwen, zowel op als buiten het ijs. Wat me naar de Sirens heeft getrokken, is hun focus op het creëren van een teamcultuur die in respect is geworteld, integriteit en groei. Het is een eer om deel uit te maken van een competitie en programma dat niet alleen is om te helpen bij het ontwikkelen van een jaarlijkse ontwikkeling van de spelers en de fundament voor de basis van de Foundation.
