Before you know it, it’ll be time for the annual IIHF Men’s World Championship. And a member of the Calgary Flames will be taking part, as assistant general manager Craig Conroy has been named to USA Hockey’s management group for the tournament.

Conroy will assist Team USA general manager Chris Clark. Clark and Conroy played with the Flames as teammates for several seasons. Conroy has been part of Flames management since retiring as a player, and was named an assistant GM in 2014.

It’s the first international management opportunity for Conroy. He previously played for USA Hockey at the World Cup of Hockey in 2004 and the Winter Olympics in 2006.

The 2023 IIHF Men’s World Championship takes place May 12-28 in Tampere, Finland and Riga, Latvia.
