Kanada beruft NHL-Talente in WM-Kader

Hockey Canada gab am Dienstag bekannt, dass die Stürmer Porter Martone und Dawson Mercer vor dem WM-Auftaktspiel gegen Schweden am Freitag zur Nationalmannschaft stoßen werden.

Der 19-jährige Martone, der beim NHL-Draft 2025 an sechster Stelle von den Philadelphia Flyers ausgewählt wurde, überzeugte in seinen ersten neun regulären Saisonspielen mit zehn Punkten. Er kam bereits beim letztjährigen Turnier in Stockholm in zwei Spielen für Kanada zum Einsatz, erhielt jedoch nur wenig Eiszeit. Mercer bringt Erfahrung aus den Weltmeisterschaften 2022 und 2024 mit und erzielte in dieser Saison 42 Punkte in 82 Spielen für die New Jersey Devils.
