Former Avalanche star Chris Drury, the assistant general manager for the New York Rangers, will again serve as GM for the 2020 U.S. men’s national team when it plays at the World Championship this spring in Switzerland.
The Americans lost to Russia 4-3 in the quarterfinals last year in Slovakia. The men’s WC features the world’s top players not playing in the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs.
“Anytime you have a chance to represent your country on the international stage – in whatever capacity – it’s truly an honor,” Drury said in a release. “We had a terrific team last year, and while we didn’t get the result we wanted, I think we’re on the cusp of getting to that ultimate goal of winning the gold medal.
