Team Canada looks to capture the gold medal for the first time since 2016 as TSN delivers exclusive live coverage of the 2019 IIHF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, one of 60+ championship events that live on TSN, running May 10-26 from Bratislava and Kosice, Slovakia. Canada’s Sports Leader broadcasts all 64 games of the tournament starting Friday, May 10 when Team Canada hits the ice against Finland at 10 a.m. ET, only on TSN.
TSN primes fans with the 2019 IIHF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW SHOW airing Thursday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. ET on TSN2.
With a talented roster led by Toronto Maple Leafs centre John Tavares and Vegas Golden Knights winger Mark Stone, Team Canada is looking to get back onto the podium after falling in the Bronze Medal Game to Team USA last year. Since 1931, Canada has won the IIHF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 20 times, the second most of all competing nations.
