CALGARY – Hockey Canada and the Boston Bruins announced on Thursday that Canada’s Men’s National Team Head
Coach Marc Habscheid has signed with the Boston Bruins as an Associate Coach. Habscheid will join the Bruins
and begin his new duties immediately, and joins Bruins Head Coach Dave Lewis, who was an assistant to

Team at two Lotto Cups, two Spengler Cups, two Deutchland Cups, Hungarian Cup, and two IIHF Men’s World
