This marks Cooper’s first time as Canada’s head coach since leading the national men’s team to a silver medal at the 2017 world hockey championship
Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper will lead Canada at the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off and the 2026 Winter Olympics, Hockey Canada announced Monday.
Cooper, from Prince George, B.C., has led the Lightning to four Stanley Cup finals, including back-to-back titles in 2020 and ‘21. “Jon is a world-class person, coach and leader, and his impressive resume and success in the NHL make him the perfect person to lead Team Canada over the next two years,” Canada general manager Doug Armstrong said in a statement.
Cooper also served as an assistant coach with Team North America at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. He would have coached Canada at the 2022 Beijing Games had NHL players been cleared to participate.
