Lemieux told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that it would be difficult for him to get ready for the tournament that runs from April 30-May 15 since he hasn't played this season due to the NHL lockout.
``I'm not sure it would be in my best interest -- or in Team Canada's best interest -- to have players there who haven't played the whole year,'' Lemieux told the newspaper. ``That's the way I feel now. Maybe I'll change my mind, but it would be very difficult to play at that level, not having played the whole year.''
