Alexander Steen is taking over the general manager duties for the St. Louis Blues starting in the 2026-27 season.
The 41-year-old is adding international duties as well.
Team Sweden director of national teams Anders Lundberg and coach Sam Hallam announced on Friday that Steen has been named player personnel consultant for Sweden's Olympic management staff. Steen will assist with scouting and roster selection for the 2026 Olympic Games in Italy.
Steen currently serves as special assistant to Blues general manager Doug Armstrong. His responsibilities with Team Sweden will include scouting and roster selection alongside the coaching and management staff. He will not travel with Tre Kronor men’s team to the Olympics in Milan in February.
“I’m honored to have this opportunity," Steen said in a statement. "Representing Sweden is a privilege that I hold in the highest regard and I’m looking forward to working closely with the members of our federation, our coaching staff, and our great players as we prepare for the 2026 Olympic Games."
“It means a lot to bring in Alexander Steen to our management staff," Lundberg said in a statement. "Not only does he have immense hockey expertise but also a burning passion for Swedish ice hockey. His work will be important for Sam Hallam’s selection of the Olympic roster and we are very grateful to the St. Louis Blues’ management for helping us find this solution."
Sweden’s Olympic roster will be announced by Hallam in mid-January 2026.
"Our work with the Olympic roster began some time ago and will intensify as we get closer to roster announcement," Hallam said in a statement. "Having Alex based in North America, in his role with the St. Louis Blues organization, is valuable to us. He follows our Swedish NHL players daily. He also knows what it means to play in the Olympics, a perspective that is obviously important."
For the Olympics, Tre Kronor men’s coaching staff will include Anders Sörensen, currently an assistant coach for the Chicago Blackhawks. Sörensen was last part of the Tre Kronor coaching staff during the 2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Stockholm. Additionally, Myles Fee, currently with the Florida Panthers, will join the coaching staff as video coach - a position he previously held during the 2025 Four Nations Face-Off. Anthon Hansson from Brynäs IF will continue as goalie coach, and Stefan Klockare remains assistant head coach. Josef Boumedienne is the general manager.
