Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes says he's looking forward to reuniting with his brother Jack on the international stage at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.
Earlier this week, rosters were revealed for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off - the NHL's first best-on-best international event since the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
Each of the four participating nations, Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States released their first six players on their roster back in June, including captain Quinn Hughes for the Americans.
As expected, Quinn's brother Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils was named to the United States' roster for the tournament.

The 2025 4 Nations Face-Off will be the first time that Quinn and Jack have played on the same team since the 2019 IIHF World Hockey Championship in Slovakia where the Americans finish in seventh place.
When speaking with reporters after the announcement of Team USA's roster, Quinn Hughes said that he's very excited and happy that he'll get to play with his brother once again on the international stage.
"Yeah, really exciting and really happy that he's on the team. He deserves it and it's really hard to make a team like that and to do it with my brother is going to be special." Hughes said.
The roster that Team USA has might be the strongest we've seen for an international best-on-best event since the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, which the Americans won in a best-of-three final series against Canada.
In the most recent best-on-best event, the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, it was a tough go for the United States as they missed out on the semi-finals and finished last place in Group A and seventh place overall.
Quinn Hughes and the Americans will look to change that in February and will begin their chase for international glory on February 13th against Kevin Lankinen and Team Finland.
