The 2025 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal featured an intense hockey matchup between the United States and Canada, which kicked off with three fights in the first 9 seconds of the game. The game started with players from both teams dropping their gloves and engaging in physical altercations. Despite the initial scuffles, the Americans managed to secure a 3-1 victory over Canada, earning a spot in the tournament final. The Canadian fans booed during the American national anthem and player introductions, possibly in response to recent remarks by President Donald Trump about Canada becoming a U.S. state and threats of tariffs on the country. The tournament also includes teams from Finland and Sweden, with the championship game scheduled to take place in Boston on Thursday. The American team will face off against an undetermined opponent in the final game. Dennis Romero and Rebecca Cohen, both breaking news reporters for NBC News Digital, covered the event, with contributions from the Associated Press.
