MILAN — Last Wednesday, John Wroblewski headed over to the United States’ Winter House, where the men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams came together for a function.
As his players mingled with NHL stars, the women’s national team coach reunited with the likes of Jack and Quinn Hughes, Brady Tkachuk and Matt Boldy.
Wroblewski, 44, had once coached these American Olympians as members of USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program.
“I saw Wrobo sitting and talking to Brady and was thinking, ‘Here we are probably seven, eight years later, and here they are both with a chance to win gold,” said USA Hockey assistant executive director John Vanbiesbrouck. “It was just so cool.”

john wroblewski’s imprint grows as U.S. women near Olympic gold and men advance
MILAN — John Wroblewski has the United States women’s hockey team two victories from an Olympic title and an unmistakable connection to the country’s rising male stars. At 44, the coach who led the U. S. National Team Development Program to sustained success now finds his influence on full display at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.
The U. S. women arrived in Milan with momentum and have backed it up with results: five consecutive wins and four straight shutouts en route to the semifinals. On Monday, Feb. 17 (ET), they face Sweden, and a victory would likely set up a gold-medal match with Canada — a team they have beaten seven times in a row, including a 5-0 preliminary-round triumph.
