Hockey Canada is adding some Stanley Cup experience to their leadership group.
The organization announced Friday that they hired Misha Donskov to serve as vice president of hockey operations and as the men’s national teams coach.
Donskov will serve as the head coach of the men’s World Championships team, and be an assistant at the World Juniors and the Olympics.
He will report to the senior vice president of high performance and hockey operations and national teams, Scott Salmond.
Donskov was recently an assistant with the Dallas Stars under Peter DeBoer, and also spent time with the Vegas Golden Knights from 2020-23, winning the Stanley Cup in 2023.
“We are thrilled to name Misha to his role today as he will play a critical role to ensure Canada’s national teams are set up for sustained success when representing our country on the world stage,” Hockey Canada’s president and chief executive officer Katherine Henderson said in a statement.
The 48-year-old has an extensive hockey background, including an OHL championship with the London Knights as assistant general manager and coach in 2012.
“Misha is a proven winner, collaborative leader and unwavering in his commitment to supporting our athletes, coaches and staff, and we know he will make Canadians proud throughout his work with Hockey Canada.”
He has previously captured two World Championships (2015, 2016) and a World Junior gold medal (2015) as manager of hockey operations, analytics and video. He also served as assistant coach during the 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025.
