Veteran head coach Dave Cameron set to lead Canada at world juniors: 'I'm really humbled' | CBC Sports LoadedIt's been a winding road since Dave Cameron became a head coach. Almost 40 years into that journey, the 66-year-old wouldn't have it any other way as he prepares to lead Canada into the 2025 world junior hockey championship in Ottawa.
It's been a winding road ever since with stops across North America, including seven seasons in the NHL, along with a stint in Austria and success on the international stage. The organization's brain trust — the need to be more "competitive" was on almost everyone's lips at selection camp — is confident Cameron will push this iteration further.
He will be on home turf at this edition of the showcase that runs Dec. 26 Day through Jan. 5. In his fourth season as head coach of the Ontario Hockey League's Ottawa 67's, the 66-year-old also guided the NHL's Senators for 143 regular-season and playoff games from late 2014 through 2016.
