Rivals: The 4 Nations Face-Off
Directed by Yon Motskin
In early February 2025, the world’s top hockey nations, including Canada, Finland, Sweden and the U.S., came together to pit their best players against each other in the 4 Nations Face-Off. The tournament replaced the NHL’s annual All-Star game and offered a chance for players to wear their national colours and assert their hockey dominance. None more so than Canada and the U.S. For decades, each team has staked a claim as “world’s best,” but as the first puck dropped, things were more heated than normal.
