Trump’s Plans for the Big Hockey Game Tonight

President Donald Trump announced that he will call Team USA ahead of their 4 Nations Hockey final against Canada. However, it is unlikely that he will attend the game at TD Garden in Boston. His official schedule for Thursday, February 20, 2025, does not list the event.

Trump’s Message to Team USA

In a Truth Social post, Trump shared his excitement for the hockey game tonight, stating:

“I’ll be calling our GREAT American Hockey Team this morning to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada, which with FAR LOWER TAXES AND MUCH STRONGER SECURITY, will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished, and very important, Fifty First State.”

The President reiterated his stance on integrating Canada into the United States, suggesting that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could become its governor.

Despite speculation, hockey analyst Frank Seravalli confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that Trump will not be attending the match. His official schedule remains packed with other commitments, including a Black History Month reception and a Republican Governors Association meeting.

Team USA’s general manager, Bill Guerin, acknowledged Trump’s involvement, stating that his remarks have added a political dimension to the hockey game tonight. While the President won’t be in attendance, his call is expected to motivate the team.

Canada Beats the United States 3-2 in Overtime

In an electrifying finale, Connor McDavid secured a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory for Canada against Team USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off Championship Game.

Nathan MacKinnon set the tone early for Canada, scoring in the first period with a powerful wrist shot that found its way past Connor Hellebuyck. Team USA responded just before the period ended, with Brady Tkachuk capitalizing on an Auston Matthews wraparound attempt to level the score.

Midway through the second period, Jake Sanderson gave the United States the lead, pushing a rebound past the Canadian netminder. However, Canada struck back six minutes before the period ended, as Sam Bennett fired a precise shot from close range to equalize.

With both teams locked in a stalemate through the third period, overtime was needed to determine the winner. In a defining moment, Connor McDavid broke free and delivered the game-winning goal, sealing Canada’s championship victory.

Canada’s triumph was not just about McDavid’s heroics; goaltender Jordan Binnington also played a crucial role. He made several critical saves, keeping Team USA at bay during key moments in the game. His composure and skill ensured that Canada remained in contention until McDavid delivered the decisive goal.

A Celebration of Hockey

Even before the puck dropped, both teams acknowledged the significance of the 4 Nations Face-Off in elevating the sport.

“This tournament has had a huge impact on hockey, certainly in the United States. Without a question in North America. But maybe the world,” U.S. coach Mike Sullivan said. “These best-on-best tournaments bring out the best of the best. The commitment, the investment, that all of these teams have displayed every night, in my mind, has been an unbelievable celebration of hockey.

“It’s hard not to get excited about what we’re witnessing. I would envision tonight would be the pinnacle of that with Team USA and Canada competing for the championships.”
