Unapologetic Patriots! Team USA Belts Out Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” in EPIC Display of American Pride!
It was a triumphant day for American pride on the world stage.
While critics at home often downplay expressions of patriotism, the U.S. men’s hockey team competing at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy delivered a powerful reminder that national spirit remains strong. Fresh off a dramatic gold-medal victory over Canada—the United States’ first men’s Olympic hockey title in 46 years—players erupted in celebration inside the locker room to “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” by Toby Keith.
The iconic post-9/11 anthem has long symbolized American resilience and pride. On Sunday, it became the soundtrack to Olympic glory as jubilant players sang along after their historic win.

The viral locker-room video was shared by Charlie McAvoy of the Boston Bruins. Earlier in the night, star forward Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils scored the game-winning goal and delivered an emotional message afterward.
“This is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I love my teammates. It’s unbelievable. The U.S. are a hockey brotherhood. It’s so strong, and we had so much support from ex-players. I’m so proud to be American today,” Hughes told NBC.
He continued, “Unreal game by our team. It’s just a ballsy, gutsy win. That’s American hockey right there. That’s a great Canadian team, but we’re the USA. We’re so proud to be American. Tonight was all for the country.”
For supporters, the moment stood as a clear statement: Team USA embraced patriotism unapologetically on one of sport’s biggest stages, celebrating both victory and national identity in front of a global audience.
