The NHL’s new 4 Nations Face-Off opens tonight in Montreal and shows just how international the game has become.
Four countries are represented — Canada, the United States, Finland, and Sweden — all with NHL players. This hockey junkie began following the game some 65 years ago when the NHL was basically an all-Canadian league. The thought of American or European players achieving stardom in the NHL was almost as preposterous as the prospect of professional hockey in Florida.

Four countries are represented — Canada, the United States, Finland, and Sweden — all with NHL players. This hockey junkie began following the game some 65 years ago when the NHL was basically an all-Canadian league. The thought of American or European players achieving stardom in the NHL was almost as preposterous as the prospect of professional hockey in Florida. Who would have thought? In 1959-60, the year the United States surprised the world by winning gold in Squaw Valley, a total of 153 players played at least one game in the six-team NHL, according to nhl.com.
Of that total, 149 were born in Canada; two were born in Europe but raised in Canada (Stan Mikita and Jack Evans);and two (Charlie Burns and Jack McCarten) were American born. McCarten was the USA Olympic goalie who had a four-game NHL career. Over the next several pre-expansion years, a few Americans made token NHL appearances, but only Burns and American Olympian Tommy Williams were non-Canadian NHL regulars. According to soundofhockey.com, 41.1 percent of the NHL’s players are Canadian-born, and 29 percent are from the U.S.
The 2025 4 Nations Face-Off is officially here. This year, replacing the usual NHL All-Star Game, the league has put together the top players from four countries for a week-plus tournament. Ahead of the tournament, check out our breakdown of the 4 Nations Face-Off schedule along with our explainer of the format.
Coming into the tournament, Finland’s defense was shredded by injury but will look to compete all the same with an overall deep roster.
