Report: McDavid won't play for Canada at World Championship

If Connor McDavid goes overseas this spring, it won't be to play international hockey.

The Edmonton Oilers captain won't be joining Canada at the ongoing World Hockey Championship, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.

McDavid and the Oilers were eliminated from the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by the Anaheim Ducks in Game 7 on Wednesday night.

He represented Canada last year, piling up nine points and helping his nation capture gold.

McDavid's Oilers teammate, Leon Draisaitl, will play for Germany at the tournament.
