Jack Hughes<\/a> 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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Hughes reportedly<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/a> and Jose Caballero couldn’t help but admire his gold medal.<\/p>\n

He also got in some warmup throws with Minnesota Vikings quarterback J<\/a>.J. McCarthy<\/a>, who also ventured to the Bronx to watch some baseball.<\/p>\n

Unclear if the New Jersey Devils superstar’s rumored girlfriend — Tate McRae<\/a> — is by his side for the game … but the two reportedly went official<\/a> with their romance after rumors began swirling in December 2025.<\/p>\n
