Quinn Hughes, the Team USA hockey star, is earning some laughs at the Olympics—not for his skills on the ice, but for his somewhat vacant expression that fans jokingly claim looks like he’s haunted by ghosts. He’s aware of these playful jabs and even confirmed the jokes, quipping that he’s usually just “seeing ghosts” while trying to focus on the game. But in reality, his focus is crystal clear as he prepares for battle on the ice, not paranormal activity.
Adding to the excitement, Hughes is competing alongside his younger brother, Jack Hughes, making this Olympic journey a family affair. Jack expressed his joy at finally getting the chance to play with his brother, something they rarely get to do during the regular NHL season. As they gear up for their upcoming quarterfinal match, fans are eagerly hoping for a ghost-free performance that showcases their talent without any spooky distractions.
This blend of humor and camaraderie perfectly embodies the spirit of the Olympics: competitive, yet light-hearted. Quinn’s ability to take the banter in stride while remaining focused on his game is a testament to his character and determination. One has to wonder, though—if Quinn really starts seeing ghosts, will we be getting an Olympic horror film next?
