Jon Cooper has been named Canada’s coach for upcoming international play, including the 2026 Olympics in Milan. Hockey Canada announced Tuesday the two-time Stanley Cup-winning coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning also will be behind the bench for the NHL’s Four Nations Face-Off in February, a prep tournament of sorts for the Olympics. Cooper, who is from Prince George, British Columbia, was selected to coach Canada at the 2022 Olympics before pandemic-related scheduling issues caused the league to cancel plans to send players to Beijing to participate. He recently completed his 12th season with Tampa Bay and is the longest-tenured coach in the NHL. The Lightning went back to back in 2020 and '21 and reached the final two other times with Cooper in charge.
