Jon Cooper, who serves as head coach for both Canada's Olympic hockey team and the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning, will miss the Lightning's next two games due to a family tragedy. The announcement comes just days after Team Canada's defeat in the Winter Olympics gold medal game.
Cooper, who has been with the Lightning since 2013, has not disclosed details about the personal tragedy. The team has not yet named an interim coach for the upcoming games while Cooper deals with his family situation.
