Team Canada revealed its goal song for the 2026 World Junior Championship during pre-tournament action on Wednesday.

They chose Courage (for Hugh MacLennan) by famous Canadian band, The Tragically Hip.

Canada opened their pre-tournament exhibitions in Kitchener, Ont., against Sweden on Wednesday. With Gavin McKenna surrounded by three Swedish opponents, he fed a cross-ice pass to Brady Martin, who wired a one-timer past goaltender Herman Liv. Courage played on the speakers shortly afterward.

The Canadians will hear "Courage" as they celebrate goals at the 2026 world juniors in Minnesota.
