Jack Hughes cements his place as an Olympic — and American — hero

With a chipped front tooth and blood spilling from his mouth, wrapped in the American flag and elation, 24-year-old Jack Hughes is already an Olympic legend.

Immediately after slamming the puck between the legs of the Canadian goalie in overtime, he delivered gold to team USA hockey for the first time since the Miracle on Ice stars in 1980.

This, after older brother Quinn Hughes, 26, a defenseman for the Minnesota Wild, smashed the overtime game-winning goal against Sweden in the quarterfinals.

The two Jewish brothers bring pride and glory to all people of our fractured nation. Jack put it best with these few, heartfelt words:

“This is all about our country right now,” he said in a post-game interview at the Winter Games in Milan-Cortina, Italy Sunday.

“I love the USA. I’m so proud to be American today.
