Canada is the undisputed leader in best-on-best tournaments. It overcame a 3-1 loss to the USA in the round robin to prevail. Canada came up short at the 2006 Olympics but won the 2002 and 2010 Olympics ( beating the USA in the final each time), the 2014 Olympics, the 2004 and 2016 World Cup of Hockey and this tournament.

Hockey fans wanted this inaugural 4 Nations Face-Off final to be epic, and that's exactly what they got as Team Canada defeated Team USA in overtime, 3-2. Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal to give his country the ultimate bragging rights.
