On Friday, Team USA will play their first game of the 2025 International Ice Hockey Federation, or IIHF, World Championship tournament. On the roster, three Bruins will have the chance to play for their country.
Team USA will play the seven other countries in their group before having the chance to advance to the playoffs. These preliminary matches will be between May 9 and May 20.
The history of the tournament has not gone well for the U.S. as they have only earned the gold medal once in 1933, the silver medal four times with the latest in 1950, and the bronze medal eight times with the latest in 2021.
