Hall unlikely to play for Canada at World Championship

It's almost that time of year already.

For those who won't be participating in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, a trip to the World Championship is sometimes an option, but New Jersey Devils forward Taylor Hall seems to have already decided against suiting up for Canada this year.

Hall, who's never tasted NHL postseason action, has played for Canada at three of the past four worlds, winning two gold medals while recording 15 goals and nine assists in 28 games.

During his first season with the Devils, Hall has scored 18 goals to go along with 30 assists while missing ten games due to injury along the way.
