Arizona Ties SHINE in Team USA Path to Olympic Gold

The USA men’s hockey team won Olympic gold for the first time in 46 years on Sunday. Their captain? Arizona’s own Auston Matthews. Matthews, Tage Thompson, Matthew Tkachuk, and Brady Tkachuk all played a notable role on Team USA and all have ties to the desert. Plus, longtime Arizona Coyote Clayton Keller took home gold too!

Leah Merrall and Steve Peters talk about the significance of Arizona players on this historic team, Lyndsey Fry’s impact as the first person from AZ to win an Olympic medal in hockey, and discuss how USA’s gold medals in both men’s and women’s hockey can inspire the next generation of kids in the desert.
