After a disappointing tournament last December, where they lost all three of their games, including in the semi-finals against Swedish club Orebro HK, co-general managers Brad Pascall and Joe Thornton are hoping Boudreau and his staff can lead Canada to a championship.
"We are excited to name Bruce, Larry, Jim and Jeff as the coaches who will lead Canada's National Men's Team as it looks to reclaim the Spengler Cup. All four bring many years of experience coaching in the NHL, AHL and Europe, and we know this diversity will be beneficial to our team," Pascall said. "We know all four coaches and our support staff are grateful for the opportunity to represent Canada at such a prestigious tournament, and this group is determined to assemble a team that gives us the best chance to bring home a championship."
Team Canada is set to open the 2023 Spengler Cup on Boxing Day against the hosts, HC Davos, on TSN at 2:15 p.m. ET.
