Jack Hughes

We have so many people back home supporting us.

And, you know, we're just, we're so thrilled with how this whole tournament played out.

And, you know, just an unbelievable moment for USA Hockey.

We've been feeling that love for so many years.

You know, so many of these guys have been with USA Hockey for so long.

We have so many ex-players, ex-Olympians.

All the guys we looked up to reached out to us.

We got their notes on the wall in the locker room, and they sent some unbelievable messages, stuff that, you know, puts tears in your eyes, honestly, because it means so much to them.

It means so much to us.

The next batch of kids in the next 20 years is going to mean so much to them.

That's why we do this.

The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong.

We're so proud that we could do it for them.

We're so proud we could do it for everyone back home.

Jack, the first gold medal for the United States in 46 years, and you delivered it.

Can you just describe the emotions of this moment right now?

This is all about our country right now.

I love the USA.

I love my teammates.

It's unbelievable.
