The U.S. men's hockey team won its first Olympic gold medal since 1980 with a 2-1 overtime victory over Canada at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Players faced questions upon returning to NHL duties about their laughter during a post-win call with President Donald Trump, who joked about inviting the women's gold-winning team to avoid impeachment. Several athletes expressed regret over the reaction while emphasizing support for the women's team.
Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and teammate Jake Sanderson addressed a presidential phone call and a viral fake video in their first media appearance since the US men's hockey team won Olympic gold. Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy also apologized for the team's response to Trump's comments about the women's team. The players emphasized respect for the women's gold medalists amid public backlash.
