Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Jet Greaves has officially earned a spot on Team Canada for the upcoming IIHF World Championship in Switzerland, according to Darren Dreger of TSN. The 23-year-old netminder is the first goaltender confirmed for the Canadian roster as the team prepares for the international tournament.
Per Dreger, while Greaves has secured his position, discussions are still ongoing regarding the selection of the other two goaltenders who will represent Team Canada. The final decisions for the remaining crease spots are expected to be finalized as Hockey Canada continues its roster evaluations.
Greaves spent the 2023-24 season split between the Columbus Blue Jackets and their AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters. His performance at the professional level has earned him this opportunity to compete on the world stage. Team Canada enters the tournament looking to solidify its goaltending depth with a mix of emerging talent and veteran presence.
The addition of Greaves provides the Canadian squad with a rising talent in net. Further roster announcements regarding the remaining goaltending positions and the full skater lineup are expected in the coming days as the tournament in Switzerland approaches.
