Four assistant coaches have been named to Team Canada’s staff for the 4 Nations Face-Off, Hockey Canada announced Wednesday.

Vegas Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy, Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet and Dallas Stars head coach Peter DeBoer will join the bench with the Tampa Bay Lightning’s Jon Cooper, who was named head coach in June.

Misha Donskov, an assistant alongside DeBoer in Dallas, will also serve as an assistant coach. Hockey Canada veteran James Emery will be the video coach.

The coaching staff was selected by Cooper, general manager Don Sweeney, associate GM Jim Nill, assistant GM Julien BriseBois and director of player personnel Kyle Dubas.

“I am excited to welcome Bruce, Peter, Misha, Rick and James to the coaching staff for the 4 Nations Face-Off, as this is a highly-skilled group of coaches that bring impressive accolades and experience at all levels of the game,” Cooper said in a statement. “I know our players will greatly benefit from this world-class coaching staff, and I look forward to working alongside all five and representing Canada in international competition in February.”
