"Just such an emotional roller coaster to go through, to have such a lifelong dream accomplished, and then to kind of have to turn the page, what feels pretty quick. It's a lot of travel in a short amount of time. So just to finally get home. It feels like we're right back at it."
"I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that. Probably be impeached if I didn't invite the women's team. Several of the men's team players laughed at Trump's comment."
Charlie McAvoy, a Boston Bruins defenseman who played a key role in Team USA's Olympic gold medal victory in men's hockey at the 2026 Milano-Cortina games, is preparing to return to play against the Columbus Blue Jackets. McAvoy logged the second-most ice time for Team USA during the Olympics. After the men's team defeated Canada 2-1 in overtime to win gold, President Trump called to congratulate them and invite them to the White House and State of the Union address. During this call, video showed Trump making disparaging comments about the US women's hockey team, who also won gold. Several men's team players laughed at Trump's comment, which US women's hockey captain Hilary Knight labeled as distasteful. McAvoy addressed this incident during media availability, expressing regret over the team's reaction.
