The 2024 IIHF World Championship got underway in Czechia on May 10, and five players from the St. Louis Blues are there representing their countries.
Goaltenders Jordan Binnington and Joel Hofer and defenseman Colton Parayko will suit up for Canada, while forward Kevin Hayes and defenseman Matthew Kessel will skate for Team USA.
Off the ice, Team Canada has even more connections to the Blues. General Manager Doug Armstrong oversees the management group for the National Men's Team, and Steve Ott will serve as an assistant coach during the tournament.
With preliminary play complete, both teams are now advancing to the knock-out rounds. Team Canada went undefeated during preliminary action, finishing atop Group A with a 7-0 record. Team USA finished 5-1-1, good for second place in Group B.
