President Donald Trump said the U.S. women's hockey team "will soon" visit the White House after winning the gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The announcement came moments after Trump welcomed in the U.S. men's hockey team during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Feb. 24. Both the men's and women's teams beat Canada 2-1 in overtime in the gold medal game.
Megan Keller scored the winning goal for the women. Jack Hughes scored for the men.
"[The U.S. men's hockey team] beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime ... as did the American women, who will soon be coming to the White House," Trump said.
It wasn't immediately clear when the women's team will visit the White House. A call to U.S. women's hockey spokesperson Melissa Katz seeking comment from USA TODAY Sports was not immediately returned.
