The United States has added John Tortorella and David Quinn as assistant coaches for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off.

They become part of coach Mike Sullivan’s staff, along with John Hynes.

Minnesota Wild general manager, Bill Guerin, who also serves as the U.S. GM for the 4 Nations Face-Off, expressed his excitement for their coaching team. “We have an extremely skilled coaching staff leading our team. Their individual and collective experiences will significantly benefit our country as we aim to clinch a championship in February,” said Guerin.

The first-ever 4 Nations Face-Off tournament will exclusively feature NHL players from the U.S., Canada, Finland, and Sweden. The tournament, which is a best-on-best format, will take place from February 12 to 20. During this nine-day period, seven games will be played at TD Garden in Boston and Bell Centre in Montreal.

His career spans coaching for the Flyers, Columbus Blue Jackets, Vancouver Canucks, Tampa Bay Lightning, and New York Rangers. In 2004, Tortorella clinched the Stanley Cup with the Lightning and has been awarded the Jack Adams Trophy as NHL Coach of the Year twice (2004, 2017).

For six seasons with the Lightning, Rangers, and Canucks, Sullivan served as an assistant under Tortorella.

Previously, he was dismissed as the coach of the San Jose Sharks on April 24, following a record of 41-98-25 over two seasons. In addition, Quinn spent three seasons coaching the Rangers and holds a career record of 137-185-50.
