In a historic achievement, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin has become the second American to win Olympic gold and an NHL championship in the same year. Slavin's impressive feat follows in the footsteps of legendary US hockey player Ken Morrow, who accomplished the same feat in 1980. Slavin's Olympic gold medal was won with Team USA in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, while his NHL championship was secured with the Hurricanes in the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals. This remarkable accomplishment highlights Slavin's exceptional skill and dedication to both international and professional hockey.
