Slavin’s Historic Olympic and Cup Double

Jaccob Slavin just etched his name in hockey history by winning the Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes — and he did it in the same season he captured Olympic gold. After helping Team USA finish second at the 2025 Four Nations Face-Off, Slavin led them to a stunning gold medal victory over Canada in Milan this past February. Just months later, he was instrumental in Carolina’s 3-0 Game Six win over Vegas, sealing their first championship in 20 years. With five assists and a plus-five rating in the playoffs, Slavin’s clutch play — including the assist on the Cup-winning goal — cemented his legacy. Now, he joins Ken Morrow as the only American to win both Olympic gold and the Stanley Cup in the same year. For Slavin, though, the true glory lies in the locker room: “Winning with my teammates is a completely different experience than winning for my country.” Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
