Hockey Canada names Don Sweeney GM for 4 Nations Face-Off

Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney will lead Canada into next year’s NHL 4 Nations Face-Off as the team’s GM, Hockey Canada announced on Friday.

According to several sources, Arizona Coyotes players and staff were told before Friday’s game in Edmonton that the team will be going to Utah and there will be an opportunity to check out their new locale.

With players and staff demanding answers after reports of the potential move, Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong flew to Alberta after attending the Frozen Four semifinals Thursday in Minnesota. He declined to comment, but those sources indicated he came clean about the move and told everyone there would be arrangements to visit Salt Lake City.

While some sources indicated it could come right after the last game next Wednesday, others said that may not be possible, “because there is still work to do.”

However, players and staff were told efforts would be made to fly them when the move is official.

Obviously, this is a developing story and we will continue to update.
