San Jose Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky will coach the U.S. Men’s National Team at the 2025 IIHF World Championship.
Scheduled to take place from May 9 to 25, the tournament will hold games in Herning, Denmark, and Stockholm, Sweden. Team USA will compete in Group B. Alongside Team USA, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Norway, and Switzerland will play preliminary games in Herning.
Warsofsky’s Coaching Background
Warsofsky is in his first season as Sharks head coach and one of the youngest coaches currently in the NHL. Previously a Sharks assistant coach from 2022–2024, he contributed to Erik Karlsson’s 2022–23 Norris Trophy-winning season.
Before his tenure in San Jose, Warsofsky led the AHL’s Chicago Wolves to a Calder Cup championship in 2022. This marked a historical moment for Warsofsky, becoming the youngest coach since 1999 to achieve this feat. He also held coaching positions with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers and the ECHL’s South Carolina Stingrays. With the Stingrays, Warsofsky guided the team to a Kelly Cup Final appearance in 2017.
For the second straight year, a Sharks head coach was named Team USA’s bench boss for the IIHF World Championship. Previously, David Quinn coached Team USA at the IIHF World Championship from 2021 to 2024.
Under Quinn’s leadership, Team USA earned bronze in 2021, but finished fourth in 2023.
In 2024, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals after a 1-0 loss to Czechia. Team USA concluded the tournament with a fifth-place finish.
