Detroit Red Wings left wing Lucas Raymond has always made it clear that he treasures his time wearing a Swedish National Team jersey.
When Sweden was knocked out the 2026 Olympic competition in Italy, on a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to USA in the quarterfinal, Raymond wrote on Instagram: “Not the result we wanted but an awesome experience and always a honor representing Sweden.”
Raymond showed he meant those words by committing to play for Sweden for the fourth consecutive time at the World Championship tournament. Team Sweden also received a commitment from Edmonton defenseman Mattias Ekholm. He’s playing in his sixth World Championship event.
The tournament will be played from May 15-31 in Zurich and Fribourg, Switzerland.
This was probably a tougher decision for Raymond because it comes just three months after his Olympic participation. Plus, he was banged up at the end of the season. It would have been understandable if he had opted for more rest time this summer.
