Team USA hero Jack Hughes calls out Hockey Hall of Fame for keeping gold medal puck: 'That’s bulls---'

New Jersey Devils player Jack Hughes was cheered by fans on home ice after winning gold for the U.S. men's hockey team at the Winter Olympics.

Team USA men’s hockey hero Jack Hughes wants his puck back.

The Hockey Hall of Fame holds the game-winning overtime puck that flew off Hughes’ stick, went past Team Canada goalie Jordan Binnington and hit the back of the net to give the U.S. its first gold medal in men’s hockey since the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" team during the 2026 Winter Olympics. 

While it’s usually an honor to have something in a Hall of Fame, Hughes thinks otherwise.

"I’m trying to get it," he told ESPN. "Like, that’s bulls--- that the Hockey Hall of Fame has it, in my opinion. Why would they have that puck?"

Hughes and Team USA women’s hockey hero Megan Keller, who gave her team Olympic gold in overtime just days before the men, both have their pucks on display in the Hockey Hall of Fame now. 

Hughes was still trying to wrap his head around the magic from Milan last month, admitting he did not know where the game-winning puck was during an interview on TNT.

Now that he knows where it is, he wants his and Keller’s puck back in the States. 

"I don’t see why Megan Keller or I shouldn’t have those pucks," Hughes added. 

Though he didn’t point it out himself, it’s worth noting that the Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto, Canada, the country Team USA beat in
