Hockey Canada's official announcement on the matter is right here.
This is promising!
We are really happy for young Hage. It's fully deserved, and it's without a doubt a dream come true for him.
"Canadiens prospect Michael Hage confirmed on the roster for the Team Canada at the WJC.
Last year this time, Hage told me he was at peace with the fact that he may never represent his country at the event.
A little bit of vindication for the co-points leader in the NCAA."

Michael Hage, 19 years old, is a 6-foot-1, 199-pound forward who was a 2024 first-round pick (21st overall) of the Montreal Canadiens.
He has a very strong 28 points in 20 games this season in the NCAA with the University of Michigan (10 goals and 18 assists).
All indications are that Hage will come finish the campaign with the Montreal Canadiens once his NCAA season ends.
