I think that I could do this job and keep my day job.
No trades to manage.
As there are no juniors practices, the coach just has to stand behind the bench. You could pick literally anyone.
4 nations teams pick themselves.
Same with olympics.
No salary caps to manage.
It’s easy to build the team; you just ask to see the passport.
Merchandising is easy. A red shirt, a white shirt, a black shirt, and a fourth “special edition” based upon some team from the past. (Check with Ron Maclean for backgrounds on shirts pre-1950).
Motivational speeches are easy. “Go Canada go” and “do it for all of the kids skating on ponds with broken down skates”. To really motivate, screech “dig in…right flipping now.” I saw that last one on tv.
I’m kinda busy during the day, so I won’t do interviews. That means I can’t say something stupid.
Now that I think about it…maybe I should run for prime minister too!
