NEED TO KNOW
- Knights' goalie Carter Hart went viral for his emotional reaction after losing the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday, June 14
- Fans had mixed feelings for Hart, who was one of five Canadian hockey players found not guilty on charges of sexual assault stemming from a 2018 incident
- Hart told The Athletic that Carolina Hurricanes fans shouting "No means no" at him were "just noise"
Vegas Golden Knights goalie Carter Hart's emotional reaction to losing the Stanley Cup Finals to the Carolina Hurricanes has gone viral.
Hart, 27, was in tears after the Hurricanes secured the 2026 NHL championship with a 3-0 win in Game 6 on Sunday, June 14, as seen in videos shared on social media. The goalie appeared devastated as he and his teammates stood on the ice as Carolina celebrated.
The majority of replies to the videos on X expressed indifference towards Hart's emotions. "This video about to be my most played song of all time on Spotify by tomorrow," joked one fan. "This makes us happy! Karma. Don't feel anything but overwhelming JOY seeing this," said another.
Hart — who was one of five players on Canada’s 2018 national junior hockey team acquitted on sexual assault charges last year — was met with fans chanting "No means no" during the three Finals games played in North Carolina, according to The Athletic.
After Game 5, Hart called the chants, "just noise," after he was asked about them by reporters during a press conference on Saturday, June 13, adding, "I mean, both atmospheres and both buildings have been really loud and just a lot of fun to play in," according to The Athletic.

Just before the Stanley Cup Finals began, The Athletic asked Hart what personal changes he's made since the trial. "I’ve learned a lot,” he said. “I’ve grown a lot since then. And I’ve been able to meet a lot of good people in the community, and I think the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation has done a really good job of making it easy for me to integrate into the community and meet a lot of cool people and — just really fortunate to be here in Vegas."
Hart and his former teammates Michael McLeod, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dubé and Cal Foote had been accused of sexual assault in connection with an alleged incident in June 2018 in which a woman known publicly as E.M. — her identity is protected by a publication ban — said she was sexually assaulted over the span of several hours in a London, Ontario, hotel room.
All five players were found not guilty of the sexual assault after Justice Carroccia said she came to find that E.M.’s evidence was not “credible or reliable.”
“Having found that I cannot rely upon the evidence of E.M. and then considering the evidence in this trial as a whole, I conclude that the Crown cannot meet its onus on any of the counts before me,” Carroccia said, according to The Athletic.
Before the accusation, Hart was playing for the Philadelphia Flyers. Less than three months after being found not guilty, Hart signed with the Golden Knights.
