Ryan O'Reilly will be playing for a different kind of championship this spring.
The Buffalo Sabres forward said he will represent Canada at the World Championship next month, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio.
For O'Reilly, it marks the third straight year he will represent Canada at the tournament, giving him the opportunity to capture his third straight gold medal at the event.
Despite his club's failure to make the playoffs, O'Reilly still turned in a productive season with the Sabres posting 20 goals and 55 points in 72 games.
