MONTREAL — USA Hockey has assembled the greatest collection of talent in the country’s history to play in the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off, and it includes a kid from the Colorado Thunderbirds.
Jaccob Slavin will become the first Colorado born-and-trained player to compete in a best-on-best international hockey tournament for the U.S. men’s senior team Thursday night when the Americans face Finland at Bell Centre.
“It’s pretty cool,” Slavin said. “You watched the ‘Miracle’ movie and saw them down at the Broadmoor. Just understanding that as a kid, it was so exciting to watch that movie and now being able to put on that jersey that you saw in that movie so many times is something pretty special.
