Do NHL players care about the 4 Nations Face-Off? Here's what they said
Briefly

The NHL will have a rare 10-day in-season break, allowing players to relax before the playoff push. During this time, many players will keep an eye on the inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, featuring elite competitions among top players from Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United States. This event is generating excitement, especially as it serves as a precursor to the upcoming 2026 Olympics. Players are eager to showcase their skills in this best-on-best format, highlighting the importance of representing their countries in international competitions.
I think it's sick, one player said. Best-on-best. That's what everybody wants to see. I'm gonna watch.
The best players from Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States will go head-to-head in Boston and Montreal.
The last time we had a full international, best-on-best tournament was the World Cup, and that was a week before I made the NHL.
With the Olympics next year, you want to perform well to obviously win the 4 Nations and hopefully be a part of more of these events.
