The Ottawa Senators announced Friday the team has named Andre Tourigny assistant head coach.

Tourigny spent the past two seasons in Colorado, as assistant coach for the Avalanche under Patrick Roy. Prior to that, Tourigny was head coach and general manager of the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the QMJHL.

Tourigny set the record for most games coached with one franchise with the Huskies, and was named QMJHL coach of the year in 2006.
