Jack Hughes is looking like a new man these days — the U.S. men’s hockey Olympic hero was flashing his new chompers out at Yankee Stadium for the team’s home opener … where he’s set to throw out the first pitch!
The cameras were rolling as Hughes hit the field during the Bronx Bombers’ batting practice, and it’s hard to look at anything other than his new smile.
Hughes reportedly had the procedure done a few weeks ago, moving away from the iconic look he rocked after taking a stick to the mouth during the gold medal game at the 2026 Winter Games — where he scored the winning goal for Team USA.
The 24-year-old was invited to throw out the first pitch ahead of the Yanks’ series opener against the Miami Marlins Friday afternoon — and Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jose Caballero couldn’t help but admire his gold medal.
He also got in some warmup throws with Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who also ventured to the Bronx to watch some baseball.
Unclear if the New Jersey Devils superstar’s rumored girlfriend — Tate McRae — is by his side for the game … but the two reportedly went official with their romance after rumors began swirling in December 2025.

Hope you have fun, Jack … and make sure to take care of those new Chiclets!
