BREAKING: Leon DRAISAITL is about to make a huge announcement

While the NHL playoffs have been taking place over the past two weeks, there has also been a global stage for hockey.

The World Hockey Championships started on May 12th, 2023 and as teams exit the playoffs, NHL players are deciding where to spend their summer. One of these players, Leon Draisaitl, has a choice to make.

Draisaitl was asked during a press conference at the end of the season if he would participate in the World Hockey Championships and where he would be during the event.

He indicated that he was currently in discussions with Team Germany and is considering continuing to compete in Finland, as the Edmonton Oilers were recently eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Regardless of his decision, it will be beneficial for Draisaitl to continue playing hockey.
