US EditionEx-Penguins star Marc-Andre Fleury opens up on teaming up with Sidney Crosby one last time for Canada’s IIHF Worlds roster
- Marc-Andre Fleury, 40, has retired from the NHL after 21 seasons and will represent Team Canada at the upcoming IIHF World Championship.
- Fleury's participation arises because his NHL season ended early, and players in deep playoff runs cannot join the tournament starting May 10 in Sweden and Denmark.
- Fleury appeared in 170 playoff games, won three Stanley Cups with the Penguins, reached a fourth final with the Golden Knights, and is eager to reunite with Sidney Crosby on the national team.
- He mentioned that reuniting with Crosby would be enjoyable, looking forward to some friendly banter during practice to help keep each other sharp.
- Fleury plans to focus on family life post-retirement but sees this championship as a helpful transition while maintaining residence in the Twin Cities area with potential future front-office opportunities.
