Armstrong, the GM of the St. Louis Blues, will be joined on the Hockey Canada Olympic management group by Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland, who will be associate GM; and Seattle Kraken GM Ron Francis, Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney and Florida Panthers adviser Roberto Luongo, who each will be an assistant GM.
Interesting to see Luongo added there.
