Projected United States Roster for the 2025 Face-Off Tournament

This could be flashes from the past, from the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, where we saw young talents get their shot and develop into the superstars they are today.

Projected Roster for the United States

As a reminder, the 4 Nations Face-Off will be an in-season tournament that will be taking place from Feb. 12-20, 2025. Remember, the 2023-2024 season is still in motion, and the following season still needs to come around; a lot could change between now and then. Let’s see what American-born players could be part of this first-ever roster.

Defense

Jacob Slavin and Charlie McAvoy help with their defense and shutdown ability while contributing to the offense. Both can move the puck well and have similar roles with their NHL teams regarding offense and defense reliability. Luke Hughes and Brock Faber are the “wildcard” pair with limited NHL experience, showing many flashes of what they can become. Faber has exploded in Minnesota, and Huges in New Jersey has grown with each game he has seen.

Goaltending

Final Words

Team United States looks like one of the best teams to compete next year on paper. The U.S. roster is full of players starting to take over the league or are currently taking over the league. From goalscoring, playmaking, defending, and goaltending, this roster shows little to no cracks when they step on the ice.
