Hockey Canada has appointed Brad Treliving as co-leader of its management group for the 2026 IIHF World Championship, which will take place from May 15 to 31 in Switzerland. Treliving, recently dismissed from his role as general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, will work alongside Jason Spezza, while Kyle Dubas, who previously served as the Maple Leafs GM, will provide support. Treliving's experience in the NHL and international events is seen as a valuable asset, while Dubas brings continuity from his recent international tournament involvement. The Canadian team will begin its tournament against Sweden, followed by matches against Slovakia and Czechia. This opportunity represents a chance for Treliving to reset his career on an international stage, aiming to build a competitive roster for the championship.
