Former Vancouver Canuck J.T. Miller Opens Up on Call From U.S. President Donald Trump

The 4 Nations Face-Off will come to a close tonight as Canada and the United States meet in the championship game, less than one week after they faced each other in Montreal which included a trio of fights including ex-Canuck J.T. Miller who took on Colton Parayko.

U.S. President Donald Trump shared on social media this morning that he was unable to attend tonight's game at TD Garden in Boston, but he was able to phone the American team..

The call between Donald Trump and Team USA didn't last too long, with the President wishing the players good luck ahead of tonight's massive game with Canada.

Team USA forward and former Vancouver Canuck J.T. Miller spoke with reporters after their call with Donald Trump, saying that it was awesome to get his support and it was one of those things that they were "pinching themselves".

Tonight's game between Canada and the United States will mark the fifth time that the two nations have met in the final of a best-on-best tournament.

In 1991, Canada defeated the United States in the best-of-three final at the 'Canada Cup', before the Americans beat the Canadians five years later at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.

In their last two meetings in the final of best-on-best tournaments, Canada has taken home the gold medal - 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and Vancouver 2010, the latter where Sidney Crosby scored the overtime winner in what is arguably the most famous goal in the history of the sport, along with Paul Henderson in 1972.

Puck drop for tonight's championship game between Canada and the United States is set for 5 pm PT (8 pm local), with an hour-long pre-game show beginning at 4 pm PT (7 pm local) on Sportsnet.
