Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy has finally opened up and spoke on the 4 Nations tournament.
The 4 Nations was a huge success for the NHL bringing a lot of attention to the game that was much needed, and now we have finally heard from Charlie McAvoy after having some wild games and playing with an injury.
McAvoy had a crazy couple of days at the 4 Nations Face-Off this season, but unfotunately for him, he was only able to play in two of the four games after suffering a terrible injury.
The way that the Team USA medical team handled the situation has become the talk around town recently as the Boston Bruins were not happy with how it was handled.
McAvoy had to watch his team lose to Team Canada in the finals on the sidelines after he was injured during the first game of the tournament. Finally McAvoy has spoken out on the situation.
Hard to put into words the events and emotions of the last two weeks. First off, being able to play in the 4 nations and wear the USA Hockey jersey again was such an incredible honor. What an amazing group it was to be a part of and I truly enjoyed every second of the time spent in Montreal getting to play and experience something so special.
After getting back to Boston, things unfortunately took a scary turn with my injury and I had to spend four days in the hospital being treated for infection. I want to thank all the incredible people at Mass General for taking such great care of me. The team of Doctors: Peter Asnis, Tom Holovacs, Dean Donahue, and Sandra Nelson, the nurses, and all the amazing staff that treated me with such special care. I am so grateful for you all.
Lastly, thank you to all who reached out and for the well wishes. We're on the mend now and I look forward to being back on the ice as soon as I can with the Bruins.

Although he suffered the injury, and it's unclear how long he will be out for, McAvoy seems grateful for the experience he had at the 4 Nations, and now he can focus on the bigger picture which is the 2026 Olympics that is right around the corner.
