On Sunday night, Hockey Canada confirmed that Crosby will represent the national team at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, which begins May 10 in Stockholm.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will be suiting up for Team Canada at the upcoming IIHF World Championships. Crosby last suited up for Team Canada at the World Championships in 2015, when he was the captain of the team that won gold that year.

Sidney Crosby’s 20th NHL season ended without a playoff berth for the Pittsburgh Penguins. For the third straight spring, the franchise's longtime captain watched the postseason from afar. But this time, Crosby found another path back to keep playing high-stakes hockey.
