Seattle Kraken goalie Joey Daccord is being considered for a spot on Team Canada for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off. The 28-year-old possesses dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada, complicating his eligibility for international play.
Despite inquiries from Switzerland, Daccord has yet to represent any country in IIHF-sanctioned events, leaving his options open. The IIHF confirmed he could choose Canada if he meets eligibility requirements.
Canada's goaltending situation has raised questions ahead of the tournament, with several strong candidates available. Daccord's performance in the NHL has been solid, making him a potential asset for any national team.
