The NFL may be over, but the NHL is still going strong, with the 4 Nations Face-Off beginning on Wednesday, February 12 and running through to Thursday, February 2025.
The tournament was announced as an All-Star Game alternative at last year’s exhibition event. Teams of NHL players from four countries, the United States, Canada, Finland and Sweden, will take part in the 4 Nations Face-Off, which will be held at TD Garden in Boston and Bell Centre in Montreal.
4 Nations Face-Off format
The format of the 4 Nations Face-Off is simple. The four teams will face each other once in a round-robin, and be ranked in a league table depending on the results. The two teams that finish in first and second place will advance to play again in the championship game.
The stakes are high. 😮💨
