President Donald Trump welcomed the United States men's hockey team to the White House on Tuesday, Feb. 24 to celebrate the Americans' gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Italy.
Trump greeted players in the Oval Office in video shared by the White House, making small talk and jokes with a number of the gold-medal winners.
Another video showed the team touring the White House, walking along the wall of plaques of past presidents that Trump installed since his second term began.
The players heading to Washington, D.C., were flown aboard an Air Force C-32, "at the request of the President," the Air Force said in a statement to USA TODAY.
Most of the team is expected to attend Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
