COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – John Tortorella (Boston, Mass./Philadelphia Flyers), who will enter his third season as head coach of the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers this fall, and David Quinn (Cranston, R.I.), who is set to begin his first season as an assistant coach of the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins in 2024-25, have been named assistant coaches for the 2025 U.S. Men’s National Team that will compete in the 4 Nations Face-Off set for Feb. 12-20, 2025, in Montreal and Boston.
The duo – who combined bring more than 60 years of coaching experience – will join John Hynes (Warwick, R.I./Minnesota Wild) in support of head coach Mike Sullivan (Marshfield, Mass./Pittsburgh Penguins) on the U.S. staff.
“We’ve got a highly accomplished coaching staff leading our team and we couldn’t be more excited about the group,” said Bill Guerin, general manager of Team USA for the 4 Nations Face-Off. “Their experiences – both unique and shared – will be a big benefit to our country as we look to bring home a championship come February.”
Between the four coaches, they’ve been involved in 26 major international tournaments either as a head coach or assistant coach for U.S. teams, including for the IIHF Under-18 Men’s World Championship, IIHF World Junior Championship, IIHF Women’s World Championship, IIHF Men’s World Championship, World Cup of Hockey and Olympic Winter Games.
The 4 Nations Face-Off is a four-team international tournament being staged by the NHL and NHLPA that features teams from the U.S., Canada, Finland and Sweden. The event will include round-robin play, with the teams having the best record advancing to the championship game.
