The 2025 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal featured an intense hockey matchup between the United States and Canada, which included three fights in the first 9 seconds of the game. The first fight was between Matthew Tkachuk of the U.S. team and Brandon Hagel of Team Canada, followed by a fight between Brady Tkachuk and Sam Bennett. New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller also got involved in a scuffle with Colton Parayko. Despite the early altercations, the Americans emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over Canada.
The game took place against the backdrop of tension between the two countries, with Canadian fans booing during the American national anthem and player introductions. This tension was further fueled by President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks suggesting that Canada should become a U.S. state, as well as threats of tariffs on Canadian goods.
The tournament, which also includes teams from Finland and Sweden, is being held in Montreal and Boston, with the final scheduled for Thursday in Boston. Team USA’s opponent in the championship game is yet to be determined. Dennis Romero and Rebecca Cohen, breaking news reporters for NBC News Digital, contributed to the coverage of the event.
