Jaccob Slavin makes NHL history by winning an Olympic gold medal and the Stanley Cup in the same season/year, becoming the second American to achieve the “golden double.” Multiple outlets report that Slavin joins Ken Morrow, who previously was the only U.S. player known to have won Olympic gold and the Stanley Cup in the same year. CBS Sports and Yahoo Sports both note that Slavin is also among a small group overall who have managed the feat, with one report placing the total at eight players. The coverage emphasizes that Slavin’s accomplishment places him in a rare category of elite hockey players who combine success on the international stage with championship achievement in the NHL within the same year.
