Todd McLellan will get familiar help when he leads Team North America behind the bench in next year's World Cup of Hockey.

The NHL and NHL Players' Association announced the rest of his coaching staff, and it includes San Jose Sharks coach Peter DeBoer, Arizona Coyotes coach Dave Tippett, Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper and Edmonton Oilers assistant coach Jay Woodcroft.

DeBoer and Woodcroft were on McLellan's staff when Canada won the gold medal at the 2015 world championships.

"Jon, Peter, Dave and Jay are great additions to our staff and their tremendous experience will go a long way in helping our young players have a successful tournament," Team North America general manager Peter Chiarelli said in a release.
