The USA and Canada will battle off for the championship of the 2025 NHL 4 Nations Face-Off Final on Thursday night.
Replacing the traditional NHL All-Star break, the 4 Nations Face-Off is a round-robin tournament featuring the United States, Canada, Sweden, and Finland. The United States secured a 3-1 win over Canada in the group stage last Saturday in Montreal. The winner of tonight’s final will take home the first-ever NHL 4 Nations Face-Off Trophy.
Ahead of the game, President Donald Trump announced plans to call the U.S. men’s national ice hockey team, while also proposing the idea of merging Canada with the United States.
“I’ll be calling our GREAT American Hockey Team this morning to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada, which with FAR LOWER TAXES AND MUCH STRONGER SECURITY, will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished, and very important, Fifty First State,” he posted to Truth Social.
While Team USA invited Trump to attend the game, he declined due to a prior engagement speaking to Republican governors in Washington. “But we will all be watching, and if Governor Trudeau would like to join us, he would be most welcome,” he added, making another reference to his proposal.
