Crosby, Toews, Weber seen as familiar leaders by Team Canada for World Cup of Hockey
Team Canada's decision to choose Sidney Crosby as captain along with Jonathan Toews and Shea Weber as alternates for the World Cup of Hockey had to do with past international success, as well as their NHL achievements.The three were the leadership group for Team Canada in the 2014 Olympics, so it made sense to keep the trio together for the World Cup."They're great, great men who have distinguished themselves not only with their ability but with their relentless drive to get better and for success and to help their individual games but to also help Canada medal in the past or win Cups for that matter," coach Mike Babcock said on a teleconference.
