The USA men's hockey team is anxious to attend President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night, according to gold medal game hero Jack Hughes and his brother, Quinn. The USA women's gold medal hockey team declined an invitation, citing scheduling conflicts.
The men's team captured its first gold since 1980 thanks to Jack Hughes' overtime heroics during a 2-1 win over Canada. (snip)
"We're so proud to represent the U.S. and when you get the chance to go to the White House and meet the President, we're proud to be Americans and that's so patriotic," Jack Hughes told The Daily Mail this week. "No matter what your views are, we're super excited to go to the White House tomorrow and be a part of that."
Trump invited the men's team to the State of the Union address during a call with the team shortly after their Sunday win over Canada.
"I don't know how much we're allowed to say, but yes, yeah, we're excited to go," Quinn Hughes said Tuesday morning on ABC News. "Something you don't get to do ... I don't know what today is -- every Tuesday. But yeah, but, it's going to be special for us, but I'm glad you mentioned the women's team again. You know, we're really happy for them. Obviously, a lot going on on social media surrounding our team and their team. But, you know, the last couple we've done a lot of training with them and got to know a lot of those girls really well. We're extremely happy to come."
For the first time in Winter Olympics history, the USA swept golds in hockey, making the 2026 Milano Cortina Games especially memorable stateside.

As well they should be! It’s an honor, a privilege and a once in a lifetime opportunity. Being a whiny bitch of a Karen and turning down an invite to the WH gets you nowhere. Woke always goes broke
The women’s team can go to H E double hockey sticks!
Glad he invited the girls. Bet they come around...and will come to the Whitehouse in the future.
It’s “come as you are”. You can bring your teeth in a bag.
I loved the smile on that guy’s face, though it’s got to hurt like hell.
Well, women’s hockey is not real hockey anyway (ducking, lol)
Once they realize how much endorsement money they lost playing politics. Anti Ice old bags and strip mall divorcees don’t follow hockey.
Like pre-woke Bill Burr said,
“We gave you a league, none of you showed up! Where are all the feminists? That place should be packed with feminists! Faces painted, wearin’ their jerseys. Goin’ nuts! Like the guys do. “None of you went to the games. None of you. You failed them. Not me. Women failed the WNBA. Ladies, name your top five WNBA players of all time. Name the WNBA team in your city. You can’t do it.”
There are a few commercials featuring the girls hockey team and their moms. No sign of dad. Heck, what do dads have to do with their kids excelling? Nothing I’ll bet.
I expect the Dems will find Mrs. Guthrie or arrest at the same time as speech.
Networks have a tough decision. Split screen?
I heard one of them was overdo for an oil change on their car,,,,so she could not go....and if she couldn't go... they were going to stick together as a team, and no one would go!
Good observation.
Glad they’re excited and not spouting some nonsense like some others have. Good win, and enjoy.
These young men are absolutely AMAZING God Bless them all. Bringing home the GOLD MEDAL is just FANTASTIC it will be so awesome seeing them tonight and I must say that Jack is super cute even with the missing teeth!
Too much ignorance and stupidity on that link. Ralph Cox was the last player cut from the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, not Jack Hughes.
Alpha male bonding.
No such thing as an alpha male Democrat.
They are all ******s.
Although Fetterman might be borderline alpha, but I’m not sure if he’s originally from this planet.
I can’t see a team of lesbians changing their minds about visiting Trump. But I guess stranger things have happened.
Will the Dems be so stupid as to not stand and clap?
True, and apparently the Olympics were chock full of lesbians. How do I know? Because they can't help themselves from constantly shoving it in our faces introducing the gals girlfriends or wives, as if I care....I don't.
