Three Hughes brothers are making waves in the NHL, a rare occurrence in the world of professional hockey. Jack, Luke, and Quinn Hughes have each carved out impressive careers, with distinct strengths that set them apart.

Jack Hughes, the first overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, is a dynamic forward for the New Jersey Devils. Known for his exceptional skating and high hockey IQ, Jack is the smartest player among the Hughes brothers.

His offensive prowess is evident, as he leads the league in assists and points early in the 2023-24 season. Jack's ability to operate in the high ice of the offensive zone is pioneering, making him a top-tier forward in the NHL.

Quinn Hughes, the seventh overall pick in 2018, is an elite No. 1 defenseman and captain of the Vancouver Canucks. His constant motion and incredible mobility make him a challenging player to defend against.

Quinn's puck-handling skills are unmatched, as he leads the league in time with the puck on his stick and is second in loose-puck recoveries. Despite his smaller stature, Quinn, with his smarts and skating, can avoid injury while engaging in physical battles.

Luke Hughes, selected fourth overall in 2021, is the youngest of the Hughes brothers and plays for the New Jersey Devils. He's already making an impact as a defenseman with his straight-line speed, power and size.

Luke's playing style is more aggressive and physical, reminiscent of Rasmus Dahlin. He's poised to become a future No. 1 defenseman for the Devils.

The Hughes brothers share a common hockey DNA, including exceptional skating skills and a high hockey IQ. Their mother, Ellen Weinberg-Hughes and father, Jim Hughes, played key roles in their development.

With each brother excelling in their way, they are collectively rewriting the narrative of sibling success in the NHL.


The Hughes Brothers: Rewriting NHL records and making history

The Hughes brothers are setting remarkable records in the league. Jack Hughes, a forward for the New Jersey Devils, leads the league in points, showcasing his prowess as one of the top offensive players.

Meanwhile, his brother Quinn Hughes, a defenseman and captain of the Vancouver Canucks, is leading all NHL defensemen in points, emphasizing his exceptional playmaking abilities from the blue line.

The youngest Hughes, Luke, is making a strong debut as a rookie, ranking second among first-year players in total points. Their collective success is rewriting the league record books and solidifying the Hughes family as a hockey dynasty.
