Juraj Slafkovsky, the young forward for the Montreal Canadiens, recently held a press conference during which he made two important announcements.

Firstly, he confirmed that he will NOT be participating in the World Hockey Championship, marking his absence from the event. This statement is the first one he has made in some time.

The young player who was the Canadiens’ first round pick in 2022 also shared some great news. He announced that he will be back on the ice today, after an absence for an indefinite period.

“Slafkovsky also hints today will be his first day back on the ice since suffering his injury.” – Eric Engels
