"Team USA donned game-worn USA hockey jerseys as they traveled to the stadium. It turns out that the mastermind behind this fun event is none other than Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who reached out to Olympic hero and New Jersey Devils player Jack Hughes in hopes of doing something fun for the last game of the tournament."
"Mark DeRosa's squad is looking to continue an incredible run of USA national teams, following the women's and men's hockey teams both winning Olympic gold medals in Milan less than a month ago. The Chicago Cubs have three representatives in the game tonight, meaning at least one member of the group will leave Miami with a gold medal."
Team USA arrived at LoanDepot Park for the 2026 World Baseball Classic Gold Medal game against Venezuela wearing game-worn USA Olympic hockey jerseys. The initiative was organized by Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who coordinated with Olympic hero and New Jersey Devils player Jack Hughes to create a celebratory moment. This gesture honored the recent Olympic gold medal victories by both the men's and women's US hockey teams in Milan. The game-used jerseys were provided through Fanatics' FansAuthentic team, with plans to auction them later. Three Cubs players participated in the championship game: Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman for Team USA, and Daniel Palencia for Team Venezuela.
