The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team is at the Capitol for the State of the Union Address. This team is packed with patriotic pride, offering some powerful quotes after their big gold medal win:
Jack Hughes: “It’s all about our country right now. I love the USA. I love my teammates — it’s unbelievable. The USA Hockey brotherhood is so strong, and we had so much support. I’m so proud to be American today.”
Quinn Hughes: “I love the U.S. — it’s the greatest country in the world. So, I’m happy to represent here with these guys.”
Several players put the big win in perspective, pointing to America’s true military and first responder heroes. Quinn Hughes went on to say, “I want to thank our troops for allowing us to play this game.”
And Brady & Matthew Tkachuk dedicated the win to first responders, the military, and all Americans. “This is for every American,” Brady said, with Matthew adding, “All the military that put their life on the line for us.”
