Brothers go viral with bald eagle masks, mullets as haley winn heads to Olympic gold-medal game
MILAN — Haley Winn’s run at the Winter Games has become a family affair and a social media phenomenon. Her three older brothers — Tommy, Ryan and Casey — have drawn national attention with a rotating set of over-the-top, patriotic outfits that have been featured on broadcast screens and racked up more than one million views online. Their antics have provided a colorful backdrop as Winn and the U. S. women’s hockey team advance to the gold-medal game at 1: 10 p. m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 19.
Outfits, Jumbotron moments and viral reach
The Winn brothers have made a point of outdoing themselves at every game. Their looks have included matching American-flag tracksuits, paperboy-style ensembles with newsboy caps and prop cigars, mullet wigs paired with jean shorts, and a red-white-and-blue onesie emblazoned with a bald eagle—completed with a latex bald eagle mask. That particular mask was even shown on the arena Jumbotron during the U. S. 5-0 semifinal victory over Sweden, prompting applause from the crowd.
What began as coordinated fan gear at the 2024 World Championships has evolved into a steady stream of short, upbeat videos and reels. A recent clip has drawn more than one million views online, while other recent posts generated tens of thousands of likes and hundreds of comments. The brothers say much of the wardrobe is sourced from mainstream online retailers and that they brainstorm new concepts together, aiming to surprise both their sister and the arena.
Haley Winn’s on-ice impact and family pride
The attention on the stands mirrors Haley Winn’s production on the ice. In her first Olympic tournament she has recorded four points — one goal and three assists — including her first Olympic goal in the group stage against Switzerland and an assist in the 5-0 shutout of Canada. Her play has helped power an undefeated run into the final, and her brothers say watching those moments from the stands has been emotional.
All four siblings played collegiate hockey, and the family traces its hockey roots to a backyard rink in Rochester where their father helped them learn the game. The brothers describe their role at the Games as twofold: to cheer loudly for Team USA and to draw extra attention to women’s hockey through playful, high-energy support.
Gold-medal game plans and what to watch
As the U. S. prepares for the gold-medal matchup at 1: 10 p. m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 19, the Winn brothers have hinted at a simpler look for the final. They said they plan to dress more casually for the championship game, though Casey suggested a small surprise element could still appear at game time. Tommy noted that Haley prefers not to know what they will wear ahead of time, and the siblings keep the reveals secret as a way to give her a genuine reaction.
Whatever they choose, their presence has turned into one of the lighter storylines of the tournament: a family-driven, fan-first show of support that has captured broad attention. For now, the focus for Haley Winn remains squarely on the ice — but her brothers have made clear they’ll be there in full voice and costume, ready to celebrate whatever comes next.
