They clashed as coaches at the 2009 Memorial Cup, now they will both help Canada win gold at the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championships.
Kelowna Rockets coach Ryan Huska and Windsor Spitfires bench boss Bob Boughner were named assistant coaches to Team Canada head coach Dave Cameron.
Huska and Boughner clashed as coaches when Boughner's Spitfires beat Huska's Rockets 4-1 in the 2009 Memorial Cup in Rimouski, Quebec.
Huska admits its ironic the two are now members of the same coaching staff.
"I guess I could say to him that he probably could have shared the wealth a little bit. He knew he was going to have a good team this year (laugh), so he could have helped us out last year. It's a chance to work with some very good coaches at this level."
It's the fourth time in Kelowna Rockets franchise history that a member of the coaching staff will participate at the World Juniors.
Marcel Comeau, Marc Habscheid and Jeff Truitt have also represented the Rockets at the tournament.
This years event is in Buffalo, New York.
