The Lightning GM has been added to Team Canada's management group for the 2025 4 Nations Face-off, taking place in Montreal and Boston.
On Tuesday, Team Canada announced that Lightning GM Julien BriseBois was added to the management team an an assistant general manager for the 4 Nations Face-off that is set to take place in February. Pittsburgh GM Kyle Dubas was also added as the director of player personnel. Together the two will round out a management group that already includes Bruins GM Don Sweeney and Stars GM Jim Nill.
For the 2026 Olympics they’ll join Sweeney and Nill for similar roles.
“I believe Dubas and BriseBois will be strong assets to a well-rounded management team,” Armstrong said. “We believe their experience and knowledge of NHL players will be a great addition to our staff as we continue to evaluate Canadian players and build rosters for international competition.”
BriseBois has served as Tampa’s GM since 2018, and assisted in the success of their back-to-back Stanley Cup wins in 2020 and 2021.
In June, it was announced that Lightning head coach Jon Cooper would be the head coach of Team Canada. Cooper was originally named the head coach for the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, before the NHL decided not to send players due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The assistant coaches and support staff will be revealed in the coming weeks. The full roster is expected to be announced between Nov. 29-Dec. 2.
