Pittsburgh Penguins president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas was named general manager for Hockey Canada’s entry in the upcoming International Ice Hockey Federation’s (IIHF) World Championship tournament.
His appointment was announced Thursday.
A native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Dubas has previously worked for Hockey Canada in international tournaments.
Earlier this season, Dubas served as director of player personnel for Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off exhibition tournament staged by the NHL and NHLPA in February and already has been named to that same role for the 2026 Olympics.
Last year, Dubas was Canada’s assistant general manager in the IIHF tournament.
Also named to Canada’s selection committee for the upcoming tournament were Penguins assistant general manager Jason Spezza and former Penguins forward Dennis Bonvie. One of the most popular players in the history of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Bonvie currently serves as director of professional scouting for the Boston Bruins.
The tournament will be staged primarily in Stockholm between May 9 and 25. Herning, Denmark, will also host games.
