TSN's Darren Dreger says Mike Babcock will be tapped to coach Team Canada at the NHL's next World Cup of Hockey
Mike Babcock is set to be named head coach of Team Canada at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
This may come as a surprise given how the Maple Leafs are faring in the NHL right now, but looking back at his IIHF experience and it makes perfect sense.
Mike Babcock first coached Team Canada at the 1997 World Jr Championships when he was coach of the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL, winning gold over the United States.
