Kane became the first American to win IIHF World Championship MVP in 2018, leading with passion and skill. He returned in 2019, breaking the record for most career points by a U.S. player in the tournament.
Named Team USA’s captain, Kane led the squad in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, but the team faced an early exit in a disappointing campaign.
With his consistent performances, Kane became Team USA’s all-time leading scorer in IIHF play, cementing his legacy as one of the country’s greatest international players.
