Another international hockey tournament, another win for Canada. There seems no stopping them when it comes to best-on-best international events. On Thursday, they defeated their arch rivals USA 3-2 in OT to win the 4 Nations Face-Off. After the game, President Donald Trump caught some strays from fans online.
This matchup between Canada and the USA came mere days after the two countries had locked horns at the Bell Centre in Canada. The USA would come out as 3-1 winners on that day and ended a long unbeaten run of their opponents on the international stage.
With that win, USA were through to the final. Meanwhile, Canada had to do it the hard way. They would go on to defeat Finland and set up a rematch between the two North American countries.
Ahead of this game, US President Donald Trump had a pep talk with the team. He would start off by claiming himself to be a hockey fan and wished them well for the game.
The talent, the skill that you have is crazy. And just go out and have a good time tonight and I just want to wish you a lot of luck. You really are a skill group of people. It’s an honor to talk to you. And get out there, and there’s no pressure whatsoever. You just go out and have a good time. You’re going to win, and we love America. We love you guys. We’ll be watching tonight. Bring it home!

Unfortunately for Trump and American fans, their hearts were broken again in an international hockey final. After falling 1-0 down to a Nathan MacKinnon goal, Team USA turned things around through goals from Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson.
In the second period, Sam Bennett leveled the game at 2-2 each. With no goals after that, the match went into overtime where both teams had some good chances.
The winning moment came off the stick of Connor McDavid. The Edmonton Oilers captain found himself free and slammed home a shot past Connor Hellebuyck at the 8:18 mark to win the 4 Nations for his country.
Following the loss, social media users attacked Trump for his message and seemingly blamed him for the defeat.

Many people are saying after losing badly to Canada in the 4 Nations Hockey tournament Donald Trump is to be now addressed as the premier of the 11th province of Canada. #4nationsfaceoff #USAvsCAN

Donald Trump has been 0-2 on teams he rooted for:
— Ryan (@It_is_Doom) February 21, 2025
Rooted for the Chiefs to win this year’s Super Bowl, Eagles Won
Rooted for USA to win 4 Nations. McDavid scored the OT winner and Team Canada won the Championship.
Whenever Trump roots for a team, put money on the other team.
Anything Donald Trump touches dies. @realDonaldTrump Go Canada Go for the 4 Nations Champions.

Team USA's loss to Canada is completely, 100 percent on Donald Trump for the disgrace in which he tainted our players and our nation. Nice job Trump.

In the past few days, Trump has made some big announcements regarding Canada. Not only did he implement huge tariffs, he even claimed that Canada should be the 51st state of the United States. This resulted in Canadian fans booing the American anthem before the game last Saturday.
