Heavy Break - Star Misses European Championship

Vancouver's star back Quinn Hughes is injured and will therefore miss the national team tournament Four Nations, where he would have played for the USA, the club announces.

The break comes after Hughes, who has both American and Canadian citizenship, missed the last four matches.

I know Quinn is a USA guy, he loves his country and playing with his brother (Jack Hughes). But he's a smart kid, he knows what's at stake, says Vancouver's coach Rick Tocchet, according to nhl.com.

The Four Nations starts on Thursday night when Sweden meets Canada and ends with the final on February 20. The tournament, where also the USA and Finland are playing, is the first in nine years with only NHL players.
