Canada has officially announced their roster for the IIHF World Championship in Finland, and as expected, two Vancouver Canucks defencemen are on it.
Ethan Bear and Tyler Myers will both be heading to Finland to represent their country.
The two will be joined by other notable NHLers as well, as Tyler Toffoli, Milan Lucic, Sammy Blais, Mackenzie Weegar, and Lawson Crouse were all announced as part of the roster reveal. Canada will certainly be a fun team to watch, as on top of their NHL talent, they’ll have a pretty nice dose of young players as well. Peyton Krebs, Cody Glass, Joe Veleno, and anticipated second overall pick of the 2023 NHL Draft Adam Fantilli were all also announced as part of Canada’s roster, among others.

Forward Conor Garland was also announced as part of Team USA’s roster announcement on Thursday. Elias Pettersson intended on playing for his home country of Sweden at the tournament, but as we wrote last week, an insurance issue will keep Pettersson away from this year’s tournament.
