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.
