Sean Burke, Martin Brodeur to co-GM Canada's world championship team

Canada will have a pair of general managers for the 2018 IIHF World Championship.

Sean Burke and Martin Brodeur have been named co-GMs by Hockey Canada, the governing body announced Monday.

Burke served as GM of Canada's bronze-medal winning men's team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang; Brodeur was on the management team while concurrently working as the assistant GM for the St. Louis Blues.

Canada will begin play at the World Championship in Denmark on May 4 against the United States.

In 2017, Canada lost to Sweden in a shootout in the gold-medal game.
