If he's not wearing a Colorado Avalanche sweater, it doesn't take much to convince Matt Duchene to don the maple leaf and his country's red and white colors.
Every time he puts on the Canada jersey, it's an honor for the Haliburton, Ontario native. That will especially be true for the next two weeks as Duchene competes for Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship in Prague and Ostrava, Czech Republic.
"It’s always an opportunity I jump at. I always want to, when I get the call, go put the jersey on," Duchene said of playing for his home nation.
