Hockey Canada has announced its coaching staffs for its two entries at November's world junior A hockey challenge at the 91原创 Events Centre.

Kent Lewis will lead Canada West and be assisted by Dean Brockman and Andrew Milne.

Canada East will be coached by Curtis Hodgins and assistants Jason Nobili and Greg Walters.

"The coaches we've named have a tremendous amount of experience at all levels of hockey, from minor hockey to junior A, major junior and the professional game," said Kirk Lamb, the chairman of the Canadian Junior Hockey League.

"We're confident they're the right coaches to lead Canada's teams at the 2011 world junior A challenge."

Lewis is the head coach of the BCHL's Powell River Kings, while Brockman (Humboldt Broncos) and Milner (Canmore Eagles) are from the Saskatchewan and Alberta junior hockey leagues, respectively.

The Canada East coaching staff is all from the Ontario Junior Hockey League.

The world junior A challenge runs from Nov. 7-13.

In addition to Canada's two squads, teams from the United States, Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic will take part.
