During which, an announcement was made.
The announcement ended with Tortorella patting Travis Konecny and Travis Sanheim on the head and their teammates following suit. Followed by a huge cheer and stick tapping from everyone on the ice.
John Tortorella is smiling really big, the guys are cheering and patting Travis Sanheim, Travis Konecny, and Rasmus Ristolainen. Sounds like they all made their country’s rosters for the 4 Nations tournament in February 2025. #LetsGoFlyers

While it hasn’t been confirmed yet, was this the confirmation that both Travii – Konecny and Sanheim – made Team Canada for the 4-Nations Face-Off?
It may just be. Especially with reports surfacing last night that Team Canada’s roster had been finalized.
Pierre LeBrun, of the Athletic, was the first to report that Canada’s roster was set last night.
Team Canada 🇨🇦 made its final 4 Nations roster decisions last night. Roster is set. Deadline to submit to the league is tomorrow.
Not surprisingly the last couple of roster decisions were very difficult as one might imagine.— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) December 1, 2024
Now, less than 24hours later, thanks to their head coach, the cat has been let out of the bag that they have made the team.

Rasmus Ristolainen was also apart of the celebration for the Flyers.
Ristolainen, who has really found his game under assistant coach Brad Shaw, looks to have made Team Finland as well. Also getting head taps and cheers from his head coach and teammates.
The 4-Nations Face-Off will take place February 12-20 in Boston and Montreal.
Konecny, Sanheim, and Ristolainen will face off in their last round robin game on February 17 at 1:00pm. A game that could decide the fate of both teams.
