Report: President Trump Makes Decision On Team USA Hockey’s Gold Medal Game
The Spun ^ | Feb 21, 2026 | Chris Rosvoglou

The men’s hockey team for the United States will square off against Canada on Sunday in the gold medal game. Well before this matchup was even confirmed, there were rumblings about President Donald Trump taking a trip to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Team USA’s road to the gold medal game wasn’t a smooth one to say the least. They needed a game-winning goal from defenseman Quinn Hughes in overtime to defeat Sweden in the quarterfinals. That thrilling win must have given them the confidence they needed heading into the semifinals though, as the United States defeated Slovakia 6-2 on Friday night.

Now, Team USA will face off Canada as it tries to capture its first gold medal in men’s hockey since 1980.

“It’s the final that we wanted and the team that we wanted to play,” Minnesota Wild forward Matt Boldy said. “It’s exciting for the fans and for hockey and everything like that.”

There might be some additional pressure on Team USA this Sunday. According to reports from Italy, the belief is that Trump will attend the gold medal game for men’s hockey.

Except he has NOT made any such decision.

Click bait bastards.

I am sure Trump made a decision and is keeping it under wraps because of security reasons.

He and Wayne Gretzky are pals, the Canadians have practically disowned Gretzky for it.

He could invite the Governor of Canada to join him

I don’t think he will go as the egg on his face if they lose will outweigh the positive effect upon the USA player’s moral.

However, his comments after the USA wins will be meme worthy.

The headline needs to end in a question mark a la every Trish Regan clickbait video title.

Gretzky hates the direction Canada has gone the last 15-20 years.

Not a bad idea. Although I don't think he'll win.

TDS is huge up north.

Yeah, Gretzky is pretty much persona non grata in Canuckastan now.

Yep. Good Canadians, and I know a few, are hopelessly outnumbered by the brain washed leftists. They put that globalist tool Carney in there just because he said he would take on mean Mr. Trump, idiots.

“No guts, no glory”

What you say is true in a war, but not in a game.

Choose your battles. Be strategic. Trump is pretty good at 4D chess.

Trump will be Trump.

At the end of the day, he will do what he wants to do and that is why we voted for him!

We took a two week fishing trip, every year to Canada for over 25 years from the late 70's - early 2000's. It was a "fly in camp" about 600 miles north of Montreal/Ottawa at a place called Father Lake and Doda Lake.

The fishing was fantastic and we loved it, my brothers in law and our sons, just a great time.

Today, because of all of the timbering you can drive in, but we haven't been back to Canada since just after 9-11.

The way we were treated by those snooty French-Canadians was too much for us to want to spend our time and money there.

I wouldn't go back if the trip were free.

You mean he has time to fly to Italy while he’s planning WWIII, the arrest of half the Supreme Court, taking over Greenland and having concentration camps built to house leftist protesters? Man can he multi task, cant wait to see his plans for the afternoon!....🙄
