Marc DesRosiers / USA TODAY Sports
Mike Babcock isn't done winning in Toronto.
After leading the Canadian team to victory Thursday at the World Cup, hosted at Toronto's Air Canada Centre, the Team Canada bench boss said, "This is just a sign of what's going to happen here in Toronto, just so you know."
Babcock, 53, is head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The World Cup win marks the fifth international victory for the Saskatoon native. Babcock previously led Canada to gold at the 1997 World Juniors, the 2004 World Championships, and both the 2010 and 2014 Olympics.
Babcock won the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2008.
