"If the USA Women's Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I'll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I'm sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real."
"The women's players worked on their own to accept the invitation, without input from USA Hockey, a person familiar with discussions told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private."
The U.S. women's hockey team will celebrate its Milan Cortina Olympics gold medal at a special event hosted by Flavor Flav in Las Vegas from July 16-19. The rapper announced the 'She Got Game' weekend through his X account, partnering with MGM Resorts to honor the women's hockey team and other female athletes. The players independently accepted the invitation without USA Hockey's involvement. While the team is excited to attend, scheduling conflicts may prevent the entire 23-player roster from participating. This celebration comes after the team declined an invitation to attend President Trump's State of the Union speech, citing logistics and travel concerns. Flavor Flav, a longtime women's sports supporter who attended Olympic events, offered the Las Vegas celebration as an alternative way to honor the athletes.
