Quinn Hughes is continuing his Olympic gold medal-winning press tour with a cameo on Saturday Night Live this weekend. And as fate would have it, he’ll be on stage alongside one of the celebrities who incidentally made hockey more popular in America: Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie.
Hughes is set to appear on Saturday Night Live for the first time during Storrie’s debut, The Athletic confirmed Friday. The news comes in the wake of the U.S. men’s hockey team’s gold medal win over Canada in Milan as well as rampant controversy over the team’s viral phone call with President Trump, during which the president made a joke at the women’s team’s expense. Hughes, who led Team USA in scoring with eight points during the Olympics, was honored by Trump during the U.S. men’s hockey team’s celebratory trip to the White House this past Tuesday.
