Former Florida Panthers goalie and current hockey executive Roberto Luongo will be named the general manager for Team Canada. He will make decisions for Canada on the upcoming 2021 IIHF World Championship in Latvia this spring.
Luongo has been a part of the Team Canada organization since early February. He was named assistant general manager of Canada's hockey team for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
He was in three Olympics for Canada and won two gold medals in 2010 and 2014. Luongo is a national hero for being the goalie in the 2010 gold medal game against the United States that went into overtime.
Luongo had two stints playing with the Panthers. He has most of the all-time franchise records held by a goalie and had his number 1 jersey retired by the team in March 2020.
