With gold medals around their necks, the brothers have made national television and media appearances that are rarely reserved for hockey players. They've been on ABC's 'Good Morning America' and NBC's 'Today Show' together, and Jack even flew to Indianapolis to appear on ESPN's 'The Pat McAfee Show.' Quinn, meanwhile, did 'The Steam Room' podcast with 'Inside the NBA's' Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley. The week culminated in appearances on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' and 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL), alongside fellow Olympic gold medalist and U.S. women's captain Hilary Knight and U.S. women's gold-medal-game overtime hero Megan Keller. This unprecedented exposure has sparked curiosity and intrigue among fans, who are now eager to know more about the Hughes brothers' lives and personalities.
