About this episode
Season 3 rolls on with a special Morning Cuppa Hockey one-on-one as James van Riemsdyk joins Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen to break down Team USA’s gold medal run at the 2026 Milan Games. JVR shares where he watched the game, what it felt like seeing former teammates chase Olympic glory, and how nerve-wracking those final moments were from a player’s perspective. He dives into the culture inside USA Hockey, why that room consistently rises to the occasion, and the leadership impact of players like Dylan Larkin. Plus, he explains why Zach Werenski’s tournament should change how people view him league-wide and what a win like this means for the next generation of American players.
