Saskatoon Blades head coach Mitch Love will serve as the WHL’s head coach, while Prince Albert Raiders head coach Marc Habscheid will also serve as an assistant.
Struch, who is entering his second season as head coach of the Pats, previously served as an assistant coach for Canada’s National Men’s Under-18 team at the IIHF U18 World Championship in Sweden this past April, and has also served as head coach of Team Canada Black at the 2017 World Hockey Under-17 Hockey Challenge.
