Former Gamblers coach named head of Canada hockey team

After winning at almost every other level, former Green Bay Gamblers head coach Jon Cooper is now chasing a gold medal.

 

The two-time Stanley Cup and Anderson Cup-winning coach was announced by Hockey Canada on Monday as the team's coach heading to the Olympics in Beijing in 2022. Boston's Bruce Cassidy, Vegas' Peter DeBoer and the New York Islanders' Barry Trotz were named assistants.

 

The only caveat is Cooper is only the coach for Team Canada if the NHL players play in the Olympics. They did not participate in the last games in 2018 after playing in five straight Olympics.
