USA Hockey appears to have tabbed a head coach for the upcoming World Championship.
The Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards will be named as America's bench boss for the 2015 tournament set to take place next month in the Czech Republic, as reported by Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Post-Dispatch.
Richards, whose Blue Jackets will not be returning to the postseason, brings five seasons of NHL head coaching experience to the table, but has not been behind the bench for international play.
