On December 4, 2024, Team Canada officially announced its roster for the inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, which will feature 23 players from various NHL teams.

Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby will serve as captains for the team during the tournament, scheduled to take place in February 2025 in Montreal and Boston.

The team will be coached by Jon Cooper, who has previously led the Tampa Bay Lightning to two Stanley Cup championships and is also set to coach Canada at the 2026 Olympics.

The Vegas Golden Knights lead the roster with the most players, including Mark Stone, Alex Pietrangelo, Shea Theodore, and Adin Hill, while the Tampa Bay Lightning contribute three players.

Key forwards on the roster include notable names such as Sam Bennett, Anthony Cirelli, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mitch Marner, complemented by defensemen like Cale Makar and Alex Pietrangelo.

In terms of goaltending, Canada will rely on Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill, and Sam Montembeault, with Binnington bringing the most experience to the position.

Crosby and McDavid are expected to lead a potent offensive lineup, with potential line pairings that reflect their NHL team connections and personal relationships.

However, the roster is missing some key players, including Connor Bedard, Steven Stamkos, and Mark Scheifele, with Bedard being a potential candidate for the 2026 Olympics.

Mark Stone's participation in the tournament remains uncertain due to a lower-body injury, but his inclusion on the roster suggests he may be on the path to recovery.

The tournament will kick off on February 12, 2025, with Canada facing Sweden, followed by matches against the USA on February 15 and Finland on February 17, culminating in the championship game on February 20.
