Marc-Andre Fleury, the veteran netminder, has made headlines as he prepares for a new chapter in his storied career after a 21-season run in the NHL. At 40, he acknowledges that he is not at his peak but is excited to join Team Canada for the upcoming ice hockey world championship. Fleury's humor shines through as he quips about needing to escape the chaos of family life, indicating that he still has the competitive drive to play on the international stage.

Fleury's choice to participate in this tournament comes shortly after the Minnesota Wild's elimination from the NHL playoffs. His brief postseason action this year highlighted his limited role, sparking a desire to contribute further. Reuniting with Sidney Crosby, his former teammate, adds a layer of nostalgia and camaraderie to this venture. With the tournament set to begin in Stockholm and Herning, Fleury is ready for one last ride on the international stage.
