Carolina Hurricanes coach Bill Peters again has been given the job of winning a gold medal for Canada.
Peters, for the second time in three years, on Monday was named the head coach for Team Canada in the 2018 IIHF World Championships, which will be played May 4-20 in Denmark. The announcement was made by Hockey Canada.
Peters coached the Canadians to the gold medal in 2016 in Russia. Showing off his medal after returning to Raleigh, he joked, “It’s always nice when you come home with a little hardware.”
Canada edged the U.S. 4-3 in the semifinals, then shut out Finland 2-0 in the gold-medal game in Moscow.
