COLORADO SPRINGS — Former NHL goalie Robb Stauber will coach the U.S. women’s hockey team at the world championships, which start March 31 in Plymouth, Michigan.
“We look forward to having Robb continue leading our team at the world championship,” Reagan Carey, director of women’s hockey, said in a statement Monday. “We have a strong coaching staff overall and I know everyone is excited about the challenge ahead, particularly the chance to defend our gold medal on home ice.”
The players for the worlds will be announced Tuesday.
The U.S. is the three-time defending world champion and has played Canada for the gold medal in all 17 of the previous events.
