Peter Anholt has been tasked with helping Canada win a third straight world junior hockey championship after two successful seasons leading the country's under-18 program.
Anholt, who heads the front office of the Western Hockey League's Lethbridge Hurricanes, is one of three Canadian Hockey League general managers tabbed by Hockey Canada to oversee its men's under-17, under-18 and under-20 programs in 2023-24.
He takes over the world junior program from Ottawa 67's GM James Boyd, who helped Canada win two titles over the span of six months.
Canada beat Finland 3-2 in overtime to win the 2022 championship in Edmonton, which was held in August after being postponed from its traditional December/January slot due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2024 world junior championship begins Dec. 26 in Goteborg, Sweden.
Hockey Canada also announced Wednesday that Dave Brown of the Ontario Hockey League's Erie Otters will guide the men's under-17s this season, while Cam Russell of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Halifax Mooseheads will take over Anholt's former position with the U18 team.
The three will work alongside Hockey Canada's hockey operations staff as part of the organization's "Program of Excellence" management group.
Duties include assisting with player and coach selection, and providing input during camps and tournaments.
Brown will lead the U17 team through the 2023 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. Canada lost 2-1 to the United States in the final of last year's event in Langley and Delta, B.C.
Russell, meanwhile, will look to help Canada to a second consecutive Hlinka Gretzky Cup title. Canada won its 23rd gold medal at the best-on-best U18 tournament last year in Red Deer, Alta., with Anholt at the helm.
Canada did not participate in the 2021 event due to the pandemic, but won that year's U18 worlds.
"All three individuals bring a wealth of CHL experience to our program," Scott Salmond, Hockey Canada senior vice-president of hockey operations, said in a statement. "We look forward to having them work alongside our athletes and staff while leading our men's national teams next season."
