Ken Hitchcock is heading back behind the bench with Canada's entry at the IIHF world hockey championship.
It will be his first assignment as a head coach since being fired by the Columbus Blue Jackets in February 2010.
Hitchcock was an associate coach on Mike Babcock's Olympic staff in Vancouver, where he watched games from the press box to offer a different perspective on what was happening.
The 59-year-old has worked with seven national teams, including the 2008 world championship squad that won silver in Quebec City.
Canada last won gold at the event in 2007.
It is coming off a seventh-place finish last year in Germany — Canada's worst since 1992.
This year's tournament opens with a game against Belarus on April 29 in Kosice, Slovakia.
