Jack Hughes has personal goals for the season, but his message at the start of Devils training camp is about the team: get back to the playoffs and compete consistently.
In the accompanying clip shared by the New Jersey Devils, Hughes says he wants to play in big games and important moments again. He connects that ambition to the work ahead, starting with camp and carrying into the first games of October and November.
His focus is on building a competitive season from the beginning, rather than waiting for the playoff race to take shape. He also sounds ready to get going as the group returns to work.
The Devils published their day-one interview with Hughes on September 17, 2026. Watch his comments below.
