“Anytime you get a chance to represent Canada on a best-on-best tournament, it's always so special and makes for the best hockey.' Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews want the NHL's ongoing international competition drought to end. (via lukefoxjukebox)
The next hope for such an event would be a return to NHL Olympic participation in Beijing 2022, eight years after Canada’s pros took gold in Sochi.
“It was really exciting. I definitely am someone who loves world juniors. I watch pretty much every game when I can. So, it was fun to watch yesterday,” said McDavid, who put up 11 points en route to world junior gold himself in 2015. “A lot of guys take a lot of pride in playing for their country, so the Olympics is top of the tops as far as that goes,” Matthews said. “That’d be a pretty amazing experience to be able to put on the U.S. jersey and play in a tournament, for sure.”
