The U.S. women’s hockey team, fresh off a gold medal victory against Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics, has declined President Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his State of the Union address, taking place at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.
“We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal-winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement,” a USA Hockey spokesperson said, per NBC News.
“Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate.
“They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment.”
President Trump invited the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team to be his guests at Tuesday night’s State of the Union address following their dramatic 2-1 overtime victory over Canada in Sunday’s gold medal game at the Milan Cortina Games.

Really? You expect anyone to believe this BS? Too busy?
Their coaches will want them back on their respective teams for what is now the final part of the season before the playoffs
This is the women.
Next time pay your own way
If Kamala was President they would have found the time.
A classy decline is no problem in my book.
Turning down Trump will be the final scene, (and then they all kiss).
.
Yaa, fairly respectful, no issue with them declining, stuff happens sometimes and honestly, I would not want to be at such an event regardless, not worth the hassle and I am a Trump supporter.
Yea, BS that they “can’t” go to the White house, which would rank right up there with winning the gold in Cortina.
I bet the mane’s team will be there.
men’s team. jeez.
Why? Washing their hair???
This is for the State of The Union, I suspect they will eventually visit the White House, so as of now, I am calling it a Non-Story.
It’s chick hockey. Nobody cares.
It would be second billing to the mens team.
That’s why.
Women’s hockey?
Who cares.
Why? Washing their hair???
Dead mother.
Lol
zactly.
Honestly, this is not a surprise. All they hear is that Trump is a bad guy. So they are socially pressured to reject the invitation from the White House.
