While many assumed we wouldn’t see Crosby back on the ice until next season, news broke Sunday that he’s headed to the 2025 IIHF World Championship to play for Team Canada. The tournament kicks off May 9 and will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, and Herning, Denmark.

Although his NHL career ended, Marc-Andre Fleury is reuniting with Sidney Crosby. Team Canada added another Stanley Cup champion, Fleury, to the men’s World Championship squad. Fleury retired from the NHL when the Minnesota Wild were eliminated by the Vegas Golden Knights. He left the ice for the last time, saluting the crowd.

Sidney Crosby will play for Canada at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, and he could be joined by one of his neighbors from Nova Scotia. The Pittsburgh Penguins center will play in the tournament for the first time since 2015,
