Brown will be representing his country for the first time and it comes on the heels of a career year for the 27-year-old after he buried 21 goals this past season.
Paul will be pulling on a Canadian jersey for the first time since winning a gold medal at the 2015 World Juniors. The 26-year-old tied a career high with 20 points during the 2020-21 season and his 15 assists were a new career best.
Jacob Bernard-Docker was added shortly after Canada announced its roster and he will be competing at his first IIHF Worlds. Like Paul, he has a World Juniors gold medal having won in 2020.
Furthermore, Artem Zub was selected by Russia. The 25-year-old, who recently signed a two-year
contract extension
with Ottawa, has represented his country numerous times in the past, most notably winning a gold medal at the 2018 Olympics and claiming bronze at the 2019 IIHF Worlds.
The 2021 IIHF World Championships begin May 21 and conclude June 6.
