Trump salutes U.S. Olympic hockey gold at State of the Union, hints at White House invite for women’s team
President Trump honored the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team during the State of the Union, praising their gold medal and saying goalie Connor Hellebuyck will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom; he also referenced inviting the women’s team to the White House, though they did not attend due to scheduling. About 20 members of the men’s team attended a Washington Oval Office event after returning from Milan, with several players not present at the speech, and the group entered the House Chamber later to a standing ovation.
