The 2025 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal featured a high-intensity hockey matchup between the United States and Canada, with three fights breaking out in the first 9 seconds of the game. The rivalry escalated as players from both teams engaged in physical altercations, with penalties being issued. Canadian fans also showed their displeasure by booing during the American national anthem. This occurred in the context of President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks about Canada becoming a U.S. state and threats of tariffs against the country. Despite the initial tension, the Americans emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over Canada, securing a spot in the tournament final. The tournament, which includes teams from Finland and Sweden, is being held at various venues in Montreal and Boston, with the championship game set to take place in Boston. The opponent for Team USA in the final is yet to be determined. Dennis Romero and Rebecca Cohen, breaking news reporters for NBC News Digital, provided coverage of the event, with contributions from the Associated Press.
