Official Quebec Capitales News Release

The Quebec Capitales organization is pleased to announce the appointment of Christian Chénard as pitching coach for the 2024 season.

Chénard has been working in baseball in Quebec for several years. He is a coach in the sport-studies program of the Quebec Canonniers.

Prior to his coaching career, Chénard was a player. He was a pitcher for the Capitales for three seasons from 2000 to 2002.

For Patrick Scalabrini, Capitales’ director of baseball operations, it will represent a reunion, as the two men have known each other for several years.

"Christian and I were teammates when we played for the Capitales, he was also my roommate, let's just say we've known each other for a long time," said Scalabrini.

Scalabrini had previous discussions with Chénard about bringing him onboard.

"I knew that this year there was a chance and so I contacted Christian who happily accepted my offer,” said Scalabrini.
