With 6.9million Canadians watching the game, more than 17 percent of the country's residents were glued to their television screens to watch the North American rivalry. 'You can't take our country - and you can't take our game,' Trudeau said on X in a message that has over 16million impressions. The 4 Nations format was seen as a massive success for the NHL on the backs of the NBA All-Star game, which was criticized for players barely breaking a sweat. 'The 4 Nations caught on fire. Obviously people didn't really know the player's mindsets coming in, and rightfully so. But guys took this very seriously when you represent your country.'

In Canada, hockey is more than a sport—it's a tradition. Hockey is a part of Canada’s identity, and so is the Stanley Cup, which is awarded to the winner of the sport's most prestigious competition. Now, hockey in Canada is a national pastime enjoyed by people of every age and skill level, from children to grown adults.
Canadian children take part in hockey nearly as soon as they can walk. By age six, most children are playing full-contact games and honing skills that will last a lifetime. With the best development programs, world-class coaching, and unshakable passion, Canada will always be the heart and soul of hockey.
