Hockey Canada announced on Saturday that Steve Yzerman has been named executive director of Canada's National Men's Olympic Hockey Team for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.

"I am truly honoured and privileged to take on the role of executive director for Hockey Canada going into 2010," said Yzerman in a statement on Saturday. "I am also very excited about the group that we have in place, a group that has great experience at both the professional and international level. With support from Bob Nicholson, Johnny Misley and the Hockey Canada team, I know that we have the right mix in place to assemble a team that will make all Canadians proud in 2010."

Yzerman, vice-president of the Detroit Red Wings, will be making his third appearance as a member of management with Team Canada. Yzerman was Canada's general manager at the past two World Championships, leading the team to gold in 2007 and silver in 2008.
