LeBrun: Doug Armstrong’s work as Team Canada’s Olympics GM is already underway
New York TimesDoug Armstrong will wear two hats right through February 2026, already well into preparations as Team Canada’s Olympics general manager. We’ve got some really tough decisions to make because we’ve got some young players that are also emerging.” Obviously Sweeney wasn’t going to get into names, but when I think about young emerging players, I think of Wyatt Johnston, 21, from the Dallas Stars, whose Stanley Cup playoffs this past spring for sure would have rocketed him up Team Canada’s radar. “There’s a year’s difference and younger players will have an opportunity to make the team.” Team Canada, as always, will be stacked best on best. “So we’re in pretty good shape if you’re using that as a barometer.” The fact of the matter is, Team Canada also doesn’t have to name its starting goalie until closer to the 4 Nations event.
