US EditionHilary Knight calls President Trump’s White House invite a ‘distasteful joke’
Hilary Knight called President Trump's remark overshadowing women's Olympic success a distasteful joke and highlighted the team's historic achievements at the 2026 Winter Games.
- On Wednesday, Hilary Knight, captain of the U.S. women's Olympic hockey team and two-time gold medalist, told ESPN the focus should remain on U.S. women’s Olympic achievements rather than President Donald J. Trump's offhand remark, which she said distracts from female athletes' success.
- Captured on speakerphone, President Donald J. Trump invited the U.S. men's hockey team to the State of the Union and joked about inviting the women's team, prompting online criticism.
- Outscoring opponents 33-2, the U.S. women's hockey team finished 7-0 with five shutouts, while Hilary Knight closed her final Olympics as the all-time U.S. leader with 15 goals and 33 points.
- On Monday the team was scheduled to fly into New York but a Northeast snowstorm forced a reroute through Atlanta, canceling planned New York Stock Exchange promotional appearances and the White House visit, USA Hockey explained.
- Knight said, 'I think this is just a really good learning point to really focus on how we talk about women, not only in sport but in industry,' while Jack Hughes and Jeremy Swayman stressed mutual respect and regret over reactions.
