2025 4 Nations Faceoff: Team Canada roster, schedule, coaches

The 4 Nations Faceoff begins in February, and it is going to bring must-watch hockey between four great countries.

Canada, USA, Sweden, and Finland will all battle in an eight-day tournament to see which team of the top NHLers is the best.

Any of the four teams could win, as the talent and experience on and off the ice is the real deal.

Team Canada 4 Nations Faceoff roster

For decades, Canadian teams have typically been strong whether it be the Olympics, World Championships, World Juniors, or others. This team looks to be no different, as Canada's roster has a lot to like. 

They are led by Canadian icon Sidney Crosby, who was a no-brainer decision in what could be one of his last times suiting up for his country.

The team is composed of other veterans like Brad Marchand and Mark Stone, but have some of the top NHLers in the league in Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Cale Makar.

In net, Canada has three players who you may not find in the top rankings of NHL goaltenders, but between Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill, and Sam Monetembeault, they have two Stanley Cup rings, and high competence that can lead them to winning big games.

Here is how Canada's full roster looks heading into the 4 Nations Faceoff.
