Doug Armstrong steps down as general manager of Canada's Olympic hockey team
Doug Armstrong ended his two-year tenure after Canada’s overtime loss to the U.S. in the Olympic final and will now focus on his NHL role with the St. Louis Blues.
- Hockey Canada confirmed that general manager Doug Armstrong is stepping down, focusing on his role with the St. Louis Blues, on Tuesday.
- The 61-year-old Sarnia, Ont., native spent two years in the position and recently announced he would step down as Team Canada men's Olympic hockey general manager, having been part of Hockey Canada's management group since 2002.
- His departure follows Canada's 2-1 overtime loss in the gold-medal game, and Armstrong said, 'You wish you could go out on top, but it would be selfish to want to do it again.'
- Potential replacements at the helm with Hockey Canada include several NHL GMs, such as Dallas's Jim Nill, Pittsburgh's Kyle Dubas, Tampa Bay's Julien BriseBois, and Boston's Don Sweeney.
- Looking to his future, Armstrong could be a top candidate for the Toronto Maple Leafs if they replace Brad Treliving, after transitioning to president of hockey operations for the Blues.
