Wild head coach John Hynes has been named an assistant coach for the 2025 U.S. Men’s National Team that will compete in the 4 Nations Face-Off scheduled for Feb. 12-20

Staged by the NHL and NHLPA will be a round-robin format between teams from the U.S., Canada, Finland and Sweden. It will be held in Boston and Montreal.

Hynes, who became the Wild’s coach late last November, was Team USA head coach for the IIHF World Championships in May. The U.S. finished fifth after losing a quarterfinal game, 1-0, to host Czechia in Prague but finished second in Group B with a 5-0-1-1 record.

He is the first assistant coach named to head coach Mike Sullivan’s staff. According to U.S. and Wild general manager Bill Guerin, additional coaches and support staff will be announced at a later date.
