Team USA’s Olympic gold medal-winning men’s hockey team arrived at the White House for their meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, as the players are also expected to attend Trump’s State of the Union address.
The team made history with its 2-1 overtime win over Team Canada at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in the gold medal game on Sunday. New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes hit the golden goal to deliver the U.S. its first men’s hockey gold medal since the 1980 Miracle on Ice team.
Canada has historically been the most dominant Olympic hockey team in history, with a world-best nine gold medals. Sunday’s win also avenged a loss to Canada in the NHL’s 4 Nations Face Off exhibition in early 2025, which came amid heightened tensions between the two countries over Trump’s tariff policy.
