With international careers winding down, Sedins relishing chance for major title
TORONTO — Daniel Sedin knows the World Cup of Hockey may be his final chance to represent Sweden at a best-on-best tournament along with twin brother Henrik.
With that in mind, there’s no shortage of motivation for the 35-year-old Vancouver Canucks forwards heading into Sunday’s semifinal meeting with Team Europe.
“We realize as we get older there’s not going to be a lot of these tournaments moving forward,” Daniel Sedin said. “We don’t know about the (2018) Olympics yet, but we’re enjoying this. We’re having a lot of fun and getting a chance to play in the semifinals, it was tough getting here.
“We’re enjoying everyday and we’ll have some fun on Sunday.”
