Newly retired forward David Krejci has not closed the door on playing in Europe and representing Czechia at the 2024 IIHF World Championships.
Krejci, 37, announced his retirement from the NHL on Monday after playing 16 seasons with the Boston Bruins but the World Championship being held in his home country is still on his mind.
"It's something I'm thinking about but I'm definitely not going to play somewhere the whole year, if I keep going it'll be after New Years." He returned to the NHL last season, recording 16 goals and 56 points in 70 games and helped the Bruins to an NHL-record 65 wins and 135 points en route to a Presidents' Trophy. However, the team failed to live up to expectations, falling to the Florida Panthers in seven games during the first round.
The 2024 IIHF World Championship is set to take place in Czechia from Prague and Ostrava beginning in May.
