Crosby, MacKinnon Lead Canada at 2024 IIHF Worlds

News summary

Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon, two of Canada's top hockey stars, are reuniting for Team Canada at the 2024 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, marking Crosby's first participation since 2015 and MacKinnon's since 2017. Recently retired NHL goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is also joining, aiming to complete his Triple Gold Club achievement. The lineup includes rising prospect Macklin Celebrini, but the veteran-heavy roster has sparked debate over whether Canada is prioritizing experience over developing younger talent, especially with the 2026 Winter Olympics ahead. Despite these discussions, Canada enters the tournament as the favorite, having won a record 28 titles. Other international teams are emphasizing youth in preparation for future events. The championship is being held in Stockholm, Sweden, and Herning, Denmark, from May 9-25, 2024.
