All worth it.

Since then, Team USA has gotten heroes welcomes wherever they have gone, including the White House where he caused a stir with his post.

He’s also been in the news a lot as his relationship rumors with Canadian singer Tate McRae remain hot.

Golden puck could fetch staggering amount

While it’s back to the NHL season for the New Jersey Devils center Hughes, no one will forget that golden Olympics moment. In fact, the puck he scored with could be worth $1 million, according to TMZ.

It’s no doubt a collector’s item some wealthy individual would no doubt love to have.

While the “Miracle on Ice” team in the Lake Placid Games didn’t have NHL players on it and defeated the Soviet Union hockey team that looked unbeatable, Hughes’ goal in the Milano Cortina Games will go down in history as one of the greatest USA Olympic moments ever 46 years later.
