The International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship continues to serve as a consolation prize for multiple Detroit Red Wings.
Germany and Sweden released rosters on Monday, May 11, and to no surprise, Moritz Seider is among Germany’s defensemen (or verteidigung in German) and Lucas Raymond is among Sweden’s forwards (also forwards in Swedish) and Albert Johansson among the defensemen (or backar).
With the Wings eliminated from playoff contention for a 10th straight year, that freed up players to participate in the other prestige hockey event held every May: The World Championship, running Friday to May 31 in Zurich and Fribourg, Switzerland.

Defenseman Justin Faulk, a trade-deadline acquisition, and prospect Max Plante (No. 47, 2024 draft) are on the USA roster.
Canada’s roster includes Wings rookie Emmitt Finnie and veteran goaltender Cam Talbot, who is a pending unrestricted free agent.
Seider and Raymond are veterans of the tournament. Seider is making his fifth appearance and comes into the 2026 edition off a tremendously successful personal year in the NHL, with career highs in goals (10), assists (50) and points (60).
Raymond is making his fourth appearance.
It’s Finnie’s first appearance in the tournament. It continues an outstanding stretch of hockey from Finnie, 20, a seventh-round pick from 2023 who made the Wings out of training camp last fall and worked his way to play on the top line for a while. He ended up playing in all 82 games, recording 13 goals and 17 assists. Now he’ll be teammates with the likes of Macklin Celebrini.
