MONTREAL — The best hockey players in the world of a certain age have been waiting for this week for their entire lives.
Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and many more of the NHL’s stars in their 20s had never represented their country in a best-on-best men’s tournament before the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off.
For more than a year, they’ve answered questions in anticipation of the event, and the experience they’ve dreamed of is finally here. Every one of them answered the same questions at media day Tuesday, and the answers were filled with excitement and jubilation.
