Team Canada skated together for the first time today in Prague, Czech Republic, as they prepare to defend the gold medal at the 2016 IIHF World Championship in Moscow and Saint Peterburg, Russia.
TSN Edmonton Bureau Reporter Ryan Rishaug spoke with Canada’s Head Coach Bill Peters, who told him we can read a lot into his lines today. From an Edmonton Oilers perspective, fans across Oil Country should be very pleased with these lines.
Not only is McDavid is expected to the Canada’s top line centre, but he’s got one of the NHL’s leading goal scorers in Marchant and another speedster in Duchene flanking him.
