Cody Glass Named to Team Canada’s 2023 World Championships Roster

WD Sports and Entertainment client and Nashville Predators forward Cody Glass will represent Team Canada at this month’s 2023 IIHF World Championship from Finland and Latvia.

Glass will be joining a talent rich Canadian squad, which makes this even more of a huge honour for the 24 year-old. Team Canada will take on Team Latvia in Group B action to open the tournament.

In international play, Glass has represented Canada three previous times. He put up six points in five games for the U-20 squad at the WJC-20 after being drafted sixth overall by Vegas in 2017.

 He became the Predators’ top-line centre after a hectic trade deadline and a rash of team injuries in 2023 after entering the preseason ready to prove himself to the organization that gave him a second chance after the Vegas Golden Knights trade.

Glass was a key reason the Nashville Predators were fighting in the playoff race up until the 80th game of the regular season before finally being eliminated.

For 2023-24, Glass’ role will continue to be of vital importance as the Nashville Predators shift to a new era and make a return back to the postseason in 2024. He has a strong chance of centering the top line on opening night for the Nashville Predators with Filip Forsberg and Matt Duchene returning from their injuries.

Glass finished the 2022-23 season with 35 points, good for sixth on the Nashville Predators. He saw a lot of work on a Predators power play that went through growing pains, but was showing promise down the stretch. He added six power play goals.
