Hockey Canada made the announcement on Friday.
Larry Mitchell and Jeff Tomlinson, both with EHC Kloten in Switzerland, and Jim Playfair, associate coach with the Western Hockey League鈥檚 Prince George Cougars, were named Boudreau鈥檚 assistants.
Boudreau, who enjoyed a 15-season coaching career in the NHL with Washington, Anaheim, Minnesota and Vancouver, has not been behind a bench since being fired by the Canucks in January.
