Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Orlando and raised mostly in Toronto, Jack began organized hockey around age five. His family moved to Michigan during high school, and he spent two seasons with USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program.
The draft breakthrough.
At the NTDP, he finished with 228 points across two seasons, passing Clayton Keller’s previous program record. New Jersey chose him first overall in the 2019 NHL Draft.
Finding his game.
Jack made his NHL debut at 18. His 2022–23 season brought 43 goals and 56 assists, setting a Devils single-season record with 99 points.
A moment for Team USA.
In February 2026, he scored the overtime winner against Canada in the Olympic final. The 2-1 victory ended the U.S. men’s 46-year wait for another hockey gold.
Beyond the rink.
Jack and Luke created Hughes Brothers’ Pucks & Pages to share their love of reading with young people in New Jersey. The program pairs books and reading goals with chances to meet the brothers at a Devils home game.
