"In addition to retaining his duties with the Canadiens, Sedgwick will now assume the role of General Manager of the Laval Rocket, in the American Hockey League." - Montreal Canadiens
He therefore succeeds Kent Hughes, who has been the GM of the Rocket for about two years.
It's probably a very good thing to see Hughes delegate a bit and have a bit less responsibility with the Rocket, and in addition, it has allowed for a nice promotion for Sedgwick, an increasingly important member for the Montreal Canadiens organization.
