The United States, Canada, Finland, and Sweden have announced the first 24 players selected for the 4 Nation Face Off tournament, and Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy will take a break from leading the Bruins to compete for their countries.
Any player selected to represent his national association must be under an NHL contract for the 2024-25 season and on an NHL roster as of Dec. 2, 2024.
The associations will submit the balance of their rosters later this year, between Nov. 29 and Dec. 2, and they will include three goaltenders, though Finland has already selected one netminder thus far.
