Pittsburgh Penguins GM Kyle Dubas has been appointed as the GM for Canada's men's team at the IIHF World Championship taking place from May 9 to 25 in Sweden and Denmark. This decision comes after Dubas's successful tenure in player personnel, contributing to Canada's victory at the 4 Nations Face-Off. He will be joined by Ryan Getzlaf and Scott Salmond, along with four other NHL executives in player evaluation. Team executive director Doug Armstrong praised Dubas's experience, especially after Canada's fourth-place finish at the 2024 playdowns. Dubas aims to help Canada reclaim the championship mindset as they prepare to face Slovenia in their tournament opener.
