CALGARY, Alta. – Hockey Canada has named the 25 players who will wear the Maple Leaf with Canada’s National Men’s Team at the 2025 Spengler Cup, set for Dec. 26-31 in Davos, Switzerland.

Three goaltenders, eight defencemen and 14 forwards were selected by general manager Marc Bergevin (Montreal, QC/Buffalo, NHL) and associate general manager Stacy Roest (Lethbridge, AB), with support from Scott Salmond (Creston, BC), Hockey Canada’s senior vice-president of high performance and hockey operations. Head coach Michel Therrien (Montréal, QC) and assistant coaches Drew Bannister (Belleville, ON) and Rob Cookson (Lacombe, AB/Lausanne HC, NL) also provided input.

“We are excited about the group of players assembled as we pursue another Spengler Cup championship in Switzerland,” said Bergevin. “This roster brings a mix of skill and experience in short-term competition, including previous Spengler Cup participation, along with broad experience across some of the world’s top pro leagues. We are confident the players named today will come together quickly, represent Canada with pride and compete at the highest level in the prestigious tournament.”
