As Thanksgiving approached, Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin shared a light-hearted moment with Zach Werenski and his fiancé while finalizing Team USA's roster for the upcoming Four Nations Tournament. The team, featuring a mix of experience and rising stars, aims to showcase American hockey talent after years without NHL participation in international play.

Guerin faced tough decisions, including leaving out notable players like Patrick Kane, but emphasized the importance of building chemistry for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The roster includes two sets of brothers and highlights the significance of family support in hockey.

With a focus on versatility and competitive spirit, Team USA is set to face Finland, Canada, and Sweden in February, with a goal of executing their game plan effectively. Coaches Sullivan and Guerin are enthusiastic about the team's potential and the honor of representing their nation.
