Chock full of NHLers, the competition is going to be tight in Czechia.
For the better part of the next three weeks, 16 of the top hockey nations will gather in Czechia to compete for the prestigious IIHF World Hockey Championship.
It’s a tournament full of upsets and surprises. Canada won gold in 2023, with Germany and Latvia beating out the likes of Sweden and USA to get there. Even Canada lost to Norway, which almost found itself under threat of being relegated. With the NHL heading to the 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025, and the Winter Olympics in 2026, the World Championship is getting a higher surge of quality players looking to prove they’re worthy of a roster spot. Sweden, in particular, has an eye-popping four Norris Trophy winners combined. And that’s just scratching the surface, with a number of NHL stars vying for gold in Czechia.
