Connor McDavid isn't quite ready for the offseason.
The Edmonton Oilers captain has been added to the Canadian roster for the upcoming World Championship in Denmark.
"Going to World Championships is not where you want to be playing in May," McDavid told Oilers beat reporter Paul Gazzola. "But ultimately, it's so special to represent your country."
It marks the second World Championship for McDavid, who was a part of Canada's gold medal-winning squad in 2016.
McDavid will be joined by Oilers teammate Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who had a fifth-place finish at the World Championship in 2012.
The tournament begins May 4.
