Jack Hughes Stars in Devils' Schedule Release Video

The Devils dropped their 2026-27 schedule release video on Thursday, and it's a must-watch for fans of the team and its star player, Jack Hughes. The video features a high school hockey player named Jack Hughes, who is a sophomore at Verona-Glen Ridge and wears the number 86.

What happened?

The young Hughes, who is a goalie, got a once-in-a-lifetime experience being part of the schedule release video. He said, "I'm so happy to be such a part of this great organization. You know, I've looked up to the members of this team, the goalies in particular, but also Jack Hughes, since I can remember, so it's just awesome."

Why it matters for Jack Hughes

The high school Hughes attended the Devils' draft party in 2019 when the elder Hughes was drafted first overall. He recalled, "At that time I played (for the) Nutley Clifton Horse Pirates, so I was wearing my Nutley Clifton Horse Pirates 'J Hughes' jersey. And I think the amount of people that went up to me and said, 'nice jersey,' I think that's really what made it just surreal."

What comes next?

Like the Devils' Jack Hughes, the high school edition Hughes also loves the spotlight. He said, "I love performing in big moments. I'd like to try and be that guy if I can." Verona-Glen Ridge's Hughes does not shy away from the name on the back of his jersey. And thanks to that name, he became the newest Devils' breakout star.

The young Hughes' connection to the Devils' Jack Hughes goes back to the day of the 2019 NHL Draft. He got to meet his idol and even wore a jersey with the same name. This experience made him feel like a part of the team, and he's now a fan favorite in his own right.
