Hockey Hall of Fame has Olympic artifacts. Jack Hughes wants his golden goal
puck
TORONTO (AP) --- The Hockey Hall of Fame this week unveiled a new showcase of
artifacts from the Milan Cortina Olympics, including the pucks scored by Jack
Hughes to win gold for the U.S. men and Megan Keller for the U.S. women, each
in overtime against Canada.
Hughes told ESPN on Tuesday that he wants the puck so he can give it to his
father, Jim. The New Jersey Devils center previously said when asked about the
puck during other media appearances that had no idea where it was other than
that it wasn't in his possession.
The Hall of Fame has had it all along.
"These donated items represent defining moments on the world's biggest stage
and carry powerful stories of national pride and hockey history at its highest
level," Hall of Fame President and CEO Jamie Dinsmore said in a statement
Monday about the Olympic showcase. "The Olympics '26 display will help ensure
that these unforgettable Olympic moments are preserved for our guests from
around the world to experience."
A stick from American Brady Tkachuk and gloves from teammate Jack Eichel, along
with jerseys from Canada captain Sidney Crosby and Sweden forward William
Nylander, are among the more than 70 items that will be on display for a
limited time.
