Sidney Crosby Makes an Unexpected and Surprising Decision at the Age of 37

As you know, the IIHF World Championship has become an event that is often shunned and underappreciated by NHL players.

The majority of players, even the younger ones, outright refuse invitations to represent their country, choosing instead to prioritize rest.

In some cases, that's totally justified, while in others, not so much.

However, Hockey Canada has just received a completely unexpected decision.

None other than the great Sidney Crosby has accepted the invitation from Team Canada, he will represent Canada at the IIHF World Championship.

That's incredible!

While some young players think they're too "good" and too "cool" for this tournament, which admittedly doesn't have the most prestige, here comes Sidney Crosby, who has agreed to participate.

He's unbelievable!

This is huge for the tournament's reputation and credibility!

A true legend!

And that's not all!

Not only does Crosby's presence change everything for Canada, but he also managed to bring along.. Nathan MacKinnon!

Clearly, number 87 is hungry for meaningful hockey, and clearly, he's tired of not playing hockey in May.

This will be Crosby's first appearance at the IIHF World Championship in nearly 10 years (!).

I have a feeling this is going to inspire a bunch of other players to suddenly accept Canada's invitation too!
