The Hughes family is a family of American ice hockey players consisting of Ellen Weinberg-Hughes, her husband Jim Hughes and their children Quinn, Luke, and Jack Hughes. Both parents played hockey in college, and all three of Jim and Ellen's children have played at the National Hockey League level. The family's career trajectory has led to the Hughes family being declared as a "first family" of hockey.[1][2]
The family is currently based in Michigan, although they have lived in the Greater Toronto Area for much of the Hughes brothers' childhoods.
Upbringing of the Hughes brothers
editJim's coaching career for various hockey teams across North America has led to the Hughes family moving multiple times around the continent, including to Orlando, Florida, Boston and the Greater Toronto Area.
Jim and Ellen did not originally intend to build a hockey player dynasty with their sons, instead having the earning of college scholarships in mind.[3] They also exposed their sons to a variety of other sports, such as soccer and lacrosse.[1] At home, Jim and his sons frequently watched clips of NHL hockey together.[4]
The Hughes brothers attended Boston Bruins hockey matches in their youth and were first taught to skate by their mother Ellen.[1]
The brothers played NHL 14, NHL 15, and NHL 16 together as children. As adults, the brothers eventually became the first family members to appear together on the cover of a major sports video game, appearing on the cover of NHL 25.[5]
After William Nylander was drafted in 2014, Nylander stayed with the Hughes family for three weeks, playing table tennis with a young Jack Hughes.[6] During this time, Nylander also served as a role model for the young Hughes children.[7]
Residences
editAs of 2026, the Hughes brothers live together in a lakeside house in Michigan during the off-season. They also are members of the same country club and skate together with their father.[8] The Hughes' house was bought by Jack and Quinn some time before 2023, and includes a puck shooting practice room that was installed after the Hughes brothers saw such a room in Sidney Crosby's Halifax home.[9]
