Christian Pulisic could only think of June as he sat in the stands to watch the United States men’s hockey team beat Germany 5-1 at the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics on Saturday, knowing just what it will take to wear the Stars and Stripes at this summer’s World Cup.
“There's always pressure in some of the biggest competitions, whether for club or country, but I think when you play for your country, you always have that little extra sense of pride wearing a Team USA shirt,” Pulisic told NHL Network. “It’s the best thing you can do. It's the most proud I am when I'm playing... It’s something special.”
