Instead of the typical All-Star weekend in 2025, the NHL and NHLPA are giving hockey fans the 4 Nations Face-Off, a new international tournament that will feature four talented teams chasing a championship.
Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States will participate in this year’s competition, which will be held at the Bell Centre in Montreal and TD Garden in Boston. The event was limited to those four squads because the rosters will only consist of NHL players, though it could expand in the future.
The 4 Nations Face-Off should be a thrilling event, as it will mark the first best-on-best international tournament since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
Here is everything you need to know about the 4 Nations Face-Off, including how to listen to games on the radio.
