Nightingale has been appointed as head coach of the 2027 U.S. National Junior Team. He’ll lead the team at the 2027 IIHF World Junior Championship from Dec. 26, 2026 – Jan. 5, 2027, in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta. This will be his first time being a part of the USA staff since winning gold at the 2025 Men’s World Championships.
A great honor for the Spartans head man. As for the team, it is unclear if they will pass on competing in the Great Lakes Invitational with the absence of their coach.
