Lloydminster Bobcats’ general manager Nigel Dube is again doing double duty this year on a Hockey Canada assignment.
After winning gold in last year’s Junior A World Challenge, Dube has been named director of operations for Canada West again this year.
“Anytime you get to represent your country in whatever way it may be, I take great pride and honour in doing so,” said Dube.
His job has taken him all over western Canada. He’s watched hours of tape, interviewed coaches and is getting ready to join 30 players in Calgary for training camp.
“Last year was an amazing experience, beating the Americans in overtime in the semi-final and then winning gold was a lifetime experience,” recounted Dube. “It’s an absolute pleasure working with the staff, working with Hockey Canada, then winning gold… it’s tough to put into words.”
This year’s tournament is being held in Camrose, Alta., starting Dec. 9. It features Canada West, Canada East, the United States and a team from Sweden in the four-team showdown.
Canada West plays its first game on Dec. 9.
