EDMONTON, AB - Darnell Nurse has donned the colours of his nation at the junior and senior levels on more than one occasion, and will do so once again later this month for Canada at the IIHF World Hockey Championship in Slovakia.
"For me, it's hard to say no to the opportunity to wear the Canadian crest and I'm really looking forward to it," Nurse, speaking to Inside Sports with Reid Wilkins on 630CHED, said Monday afternoon. "It was an experience last year that was a lot of fun to be a part of, but obviously we didn't get the result we really wanted. But at the same time, it was a lot of fun as a player to be a part of it.
"When they called this year, you think about it for a little bit. But I was definitely excited to have the opportunity and I'm excited to go."
