US women's Olympic hockey team declines Trump invitation to State of the Union over scheduling
The gold-medal-winning U.S. Olympic women’s hockey team declined President Trump’s invitation to the State of the Union, citing scheduling conflicts and preexisting academic/professional commitments after the Games; the men’s team was also invited, but attendance remains unclear, and the White House did not comment. Both teams had just won Olympic gold against Canada and are returning to club/college schedules.
