Hockey star Crosby is part of Team Canada for the World Hockey Championship
TORONTO - Hockey's golden boy isn't hanging up his skates quite yet. After all these years, the ageless wonder, Sidney Crosby, is gearing up for a comeback. At a ripe 37 years old, the Pittsburgh Penguins' legendary captain will strap on the maple leaf for Team Canada in the upcoming World Hockey Championship.
This tournament is set to roar to life on Saturday, squaring off against Slovakia in Stockholm. The competition will frolic from May 9 to May 25, with the festivities spilling over to Herning, Denmark. Crosby's last dance on the World Championship stage took place back in 2015.
Heading into the tournament, the three-time WC participant has been saved for the grand finale. Crosby demonstrated his mettle in February when he helped Canada clinch the inaugural 4 Nations Cup.
This season, Crosby's lights gleamed exceptionally bright, with an impressive 33 goals and 91 points lit up across 80 games. But, alas, the Penguins couldn't manage to scoop up one of the Eastern Conference's final playoff spots, missing the post-season by a margin of 11 points.
With the Olympic Games looming on the horizon, Crosby joins an elite crew of NHL players set to make waves in Stockholm and Herning. Keep an eye on this CanadianWonder, as the world's best hockey players battle it out for glory on international soil.
