To no surprise, Canada leads the way with seven OHL alumni in their lineup, highlighted by the Erie Otter great, Connor McDavid, and the London Knight magician, Mitch Marner. Team USA is primarily dominated by players who developed through their national team development program, but three members from their roster played in the OHL at some point in their young careers. Lastly, the Scandinavian countries Sweden and Finland have two players each, one of which was a rockstar in his only season for the Sudbury Wolves. Below is a list of the OHL alumni playing at the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off, along with their career statistics and greatest achievements while playing in the OHL.
