RETIREMENT PLANS
He plans to step down from his role as head coach of the Canadian men's team after the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. He had previously retired from international coaching after leading the Canadian men's team at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. "I'm going to stop. I came back because Stephane [Antiga, former coach] had to leave [in 2018]. As there was very little time left before qualifying, we tried not to change the coaching style too much We did it for that. I was well in my retirement. I will no longer be the head coach, but I will always stay close to the programme. It's still been part of my life for 10 to 11 years." (journaldemontreal.com, 06 Mar 2021)
