Will Cuylle Makes Positive Impression At IIHF World Campionship Despite Canada's Disastrous Collapse
While Team Canada may have not ended the 2025 IIHF Men's World Championship the way they would have wanted to, Will Cuylle had an impressive showing at the tournament.
Cuylle joined a team full of some of the NHL's best players including Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon, but he was still able to stand out.
Will Cuylle Wants To Give Back To Canada At World Championship After a breakout second year in the NHL with the New York
Rangers, Will Cuylle is ready for more.
The 23-year-old forward recorded two goals, two assists, and four points in eight games for Team Canada.
Throughout the tournament, Cuylle seemed to get better and look more comfortable as he brought his same physically-minded play style he's been known for with the New York Rangers.
'We see the same thing, big, physical skates all around player,' Canada head coach Dean Evason said of Cuylle during the tournament. 'It's unfortunate and or fortunate that we have 13 forwards, and some guys get not as much ice time as they normally get, so maybe don't get into the game, but we really like the way that he plays the game. His presence moving forward, his physicality, will be a big part of our success.'
Cuylle mostly played a fourth-line role, but Canada Evason shuffled the lines a couple of times and even had Cuylle playing with MacKinnon at one point.
It's safe to say that this is just the start for Cuylle.

Forsyth County leaders approve $225 million development in hopes of attracting the NHL
Forsyth County leaders voted unanimously to approve a major development, all in hopes of bringing a pro hockey team to north Georgia. This was the final vote on the $225 million project and a critical step in efforts to attract a hockey team. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Developer Vernon Krouse was at the meeting that included the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, the Forsyth County Board of Education and the Development Authority. Members of all three boards met, and all voted unanimously to approve the final, official documents for the project. It's a milestone. 'Without this vote, we could not go to the NHL. This was a prerequisite,' Krouse told Channel 2's Bryan Mims. TRENDING STORIES: Officer hit by car in Carrollton while directing traffic 'Senseless': Brothers, ages 13 and 14, accused of Clayton party shooting, posting it to social media Sheriffs' Assoc. sues Judge Hatchett after sheriff's guilty plea for groping her It was April 2023 when Krause publicly announced his plans to build a mixed-use development centered around an 18,000-seat hockey arena in Forsyth County. It's named 'The Gathering at South Forsyth' and would be located along Georgia 400 between Alpharetta and Cumming. The National Hockey League has not said it plans to expand and bring a franchise to the Atlanta market. However, Krause says the demand is here and his development can accommodate a team. 'A lot of people in this state believe we should have a hockey team. I believe we're gonna have one,' Krause said. Forsyth County commissioners agreed to provide $225 million in bond financing, but only if The Gathering lands a pro hockey team. With county officials approving these final, critical documents, Krause plans to meet with the NHL commissioner after the Stanley Cup playoffs. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter] Krause said to see three governing bodies in Forsyth County unanimously approve the project brings him to tears. 'It's emotional. It's been a lot of hard work by a lot of people. It's nice to see when your hard work, our team has worked hard, it has paid off,' Krause explained. Krause says he talked with Commissioner Gary Bettman this week. He says if this final approval from the county came today, Bettman would meet with him after the NHL finals. Krause says he expects a decision from the NHL about expansion at the latest by the end of this year.
