The Boston Bruins have named Hockey Canada's Marc Habscheid as an associate coach, the first addition to Dave Lewis' staff.

''Marc has a lot of experience and is a strong addition to our coaching staff,'' Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli said in a statement. ''He's worked with young players as both a coach in major junior hockey and with Hockey Canada's development teams, and he's worked with some of the top players in our league as a coach for Team Canada at both the world championships and with the Canadian Olympic team.''

Habscheid, 43, joined Hockey Canada in June 2004 after four-plus seasons with the WHL's Kelowna Rockets, leading the team to the Memorial Cup title in 2003-04. He was behind the bench when Canada won silver at the 2005 IIHF men's world championship in Austria and was a member of Pat Quinn's Olympic coaching staff in Turin last February.

Congrats to Marc.
