The Hockey Hall of Fame says the pucks used to attain the gold medal-winning men’s and girls’s goals on the Milan Cortina Olympics are a part of its everlasting collection after being donated by the International Ice Hockey Federation.
The Hall released a press release about its artifacts from the Games on Wednesday, a day after Jack Hughes, who scored the golden goal in additional time for the U.S. men, told ESPN he wanted the puck so he could give it to his father, Jim.
“These artifacts are preserved, exhibited and shared with fans worldwide through our museum and international outreach programs, ensuring that defining Olympic and World Championship moments remain protected and accessible to the worldwide hockey community,” the Hall said in a press release sent to The Associated Press. “We hold tremendous respect for the boys and girls who create these unforgettable moments on the ice, and we remain committed to preserving their achievements in a way that’s responsible, secure and accessible to fans all over the place.”
The U.S. swept men’s, women’s and Paralympic sled hockey gold, beating Canada in each final to win all three for the primary time in the identical 12 months. Megan Keller scored the ladies’s golden goal, also in OT, and that puck is similarly enshrined.
