Jack Hughes: ‘The Gold Medal Is for All the Guys that Have Come Before Us’

TRANSCRIPT:

HUGHES: “But the best part is, for like, I was saying this the day of the gold medal, it’s for all the guys that have come before us and, you know, all the young kids that are going to come after us. So, just like, you know, when I was a kid, I was growing up dreaming of being where I’m at now. In 10 years, there’s going to be another Auston Matthews. There’s going to be another Matthew Tkachuk and another Quinn Hughes. So, that’s why we play and we want to, you know, leave USA Hockey in a better place than it was when we first got there.”
