The annual IIHF World Championship tournament is back. The intense action will continue on Saturday with a full slate of six games, including what should be a spirited matchup between Canada and Slovenia.
NHL superstar Sidney Crosby will play for Team Canada, joining forces with Calder Memorial Trophy finalist Macklin Celebrini, the first pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, and Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon.
Crosby’s international resume speaks for itself. He won gold medals at the 2005 World Junior Hockey Championship, 2015 World Hockey Championship, 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics, 2016 World Cup and, most recently, the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off.
Now, the future Hall of Famer will look to carry Canada to the gold in the IIHF World Championship. Canada fell to Sweden in the bronze-medal game last year, marking the first time since 2018 that the Canadians failed to reach the podium. This year, Canada should be the team to beat.
