As Team USA looks to capture its first Olympic gold medal since the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” squad, this year’s roster is headlined by two pairs of brothers and a superstar centerman who could one day bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada. With the NHL on break during the Olympic tournament, the hockey world and the collecting community will have their eyes on the Olympics, as collectors target the most collectible players representing Team USA.

The first of two brother duos on this list, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are expected to log major minutes on Team USA’s top line. The Tkachuk brothers are widely considered the emotional leaders of Team USA and drew significant hobby attention after their passionate play in the 4 Nations tournament last year. As U.S. hockey collectors continue to chase their high-end cards, rare patch autos of the brothers can still sometimes be found for under $1,000.

The second pair of brothers is Quinn and Jack Hughes. Both Hughes brothers are expected to play prominent roles for Team USA in these Olympics. Jack remains a dynamic scorer and leader for the New Jersey Devils, using his speed and finesse, he has established himself as an elite offensive player. Quinn has continued to solidify his status as one of the NHL’s top defensemen. His in-season move from the Vancouver Canuks to the Minnesota Wild has introduced his game to a new audience and placed him on a Stanley Cup-contending roster.

The most recognizable Team USA player is Auston Matthews, captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Matthews has been a hobby star since entering the league in 2016, and his cards continue to command strong hobby interest. That popularity is driven by both his role on one of Canada’s most storied franchises (the Toronto Maple Leafs) and his status as arguably the most talented U.S.-born player of the past decade.
