Lowry to coach Team Canada

Hitmen coach Dave Lowry has been named the head coach of the Canadian U-18 team which will play at the annual Ivan Hlinka memorial tournament in the Czech Republic in August.

Rumours have been swirling ever since the Hitmen season ended that Lowry could have opportunities in the pro ranks next year. Unfortunately for the Hitmen, this Hockey Canada job doesn't make it less likely that Lowry could move on to the pro ranks; after all, last year this team was coached by Bill Peters of the Spokane Chiefs, and Peters moved on to the AHL anyway.
