"I was with the best players in the world every single day. Away from the rink, too. We were in tight quarters in the village. And I think our decision to stay in that village is why we won, in keeping such close-knit bond. We were in the dining hall together, playing cards and obviously at the rink, too. That's something that really bonded us."
"The experience I took from that was staying as focused as you possibly can, be a professional in everything you do and perform on the ice on the biggest stage. I can't wait to get back. I'm excited to get started and whenever my name is called, I'll be ready to go."
Jeremy Swayman, a gold medalist from the U.S. Olympic team in Italy, returned to Boston Bruins practice with high spirits despite a raspy voice from celebrations. He credited the team's tight-knit bond, fostered by staying together in the Olympic village, as crucial to their gold medal victory. Swayman highlighted the importance of maintaining focus, professionalism, and performing on the biggest stage. He arrived early Wednesday morning and chose to get extra ice time rather than rest, expressing eagerness to return to regular season play. Coach Marco Sturm will assess both Swayman and fellow gold medalist Charlie McAvoy's availability after Thursday's morning skate before their game against Columbus.
