Pete Hegseth Commends Connor Hellebuyck After Win

After Team USA’s victory over Canada in the Olympic men’s hockey gold medal game, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth honored goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who made 41 saves, including a critical stop against Devon Toews, to keep the game tied at 1-1. Jack Hughes scored the game-winner in overtime, securing Team USA’s first hockey gold since 1980. Hellebuyck, dubbed the “Secretary of Defense” on social media, celebrated the win, marking a historic performance for the U.S. with 33 total medals in the Winter Olympics.
