Bill Guerin, the general manager of the U.S. hockey team, expressed enthusiasm for President Trump's potential attendance at the 4 Nations Face-Off against Canada. He believes Trump's earlier comments about tariffs and Canada’s status have heightened the rivalry and intensity of the sport. The tournament marks a significant return for top players to international play post-Olympics, with connections drawn to historic moments like the 1980 'Miracle on Ice' win against the Soviet Union reflecting both sporting and political themes driving players' motivation.
We would love it if President Trump was in attendance. We have a room full of proud American players and coaches and staff. Listen, we're just trying to represent our country the best way we can.
I think there was a little bit of a political flare to it. It's just the time that we're in. If you let it get the better of you, then you're in trouble. But I do think the players used it as inspiration.
