Canada’s para hockey team is gearing up for another shot at winning a world championship on home ice in Calgary. The team, led by forward Tyler McGregor, is grateful for the opportunity to compete in back-to-back championships on familiar territory.

The rivalry between Canada and the United States in para hockey is heating up, with the two countries facing off in six straight world finals. The U.S. has had the upper hand in recent years, but Canada is determined to reclaim the top spot.

Head coach Russ Herrington is focused on the tough competition ahead, including teams like China and Czechia. The tournament, which features eight countries, will conclude on May 12 with the medal games.
