Gary Bettman announced during the NHL All-Star weekend that the NHL will participate in the 2026 and 2030 Olympics. This is excellent news for hockey fans, and it could also be significant for Martin St-Louis.
As the coach of the Montreal Canadiens, St-Louis is gaining experience and garnering respect in the league. Moreover, the coach most likely to lead the Olympic team is Jon Cooper, who knows St-Louis very well.
These remarks are very insightful and accurate. I believe that Martin is capable of adjusting to any type of player and can bring out the best in each one. However, seeing him with a team of stars is very enticing.
Doug Armstrong, who will be the team's general manager, will have some selection work to do. It will start with the head coach, and, by mutual agreement, his assistants will be selected.
We must also consider names like Jim Montgomery (Boston), Jared Bednar (Colorado), Bruce Cassidy (Vegas), and several other Canadian coaches who would also be excellent candidates.
