President Donald Trump<\/a> talked to the U.S. men\u2019s hockey team and invited them to his State of the Union address after their gold medal victory over Canada at the Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n

American Olympian Matthew Tkachuk reflected on the president\u2019s phone call as he arrived at Miami International<\/a> Airport a day after the team secured a gold medal.<\/p>\n

“It was super cool,” he told reporters as he walked into the terminal. “It\u2019s an honor hearing from the President of the United States. Hearing that he was supporting us and all the other athletes wanting us to bring home as many gold medals as we can. We\u2019re definitely honored to represent him and the hundreds of millions across the country and to bring a gold medal back.”<\/p>\n

The Florida Panthers star<\/a> was also asked how winning a gold medal compared to winning the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

Tkachuk and the Panthers are back-to-back reigning Stanley Cup champions<\/a>. He pointed out the major difference was what the win meant to the country as a whole.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s almost more meaningful to everybody else in the sense of it\u2019s a way to unite the whole country,” he said. “When you go through the two-month grind and the 82-game grind in the NHL season, you don\u2019t compare that. That\u2019s as hard of a trophy as you\u2019re going to win in sports, the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

“But when it comes to bringing together Americans, whether they like hockey or not, the Olympics, an Olympic hockey player at that stage against Canada, that\u2019s as high as it\u2019s gonna get.”<\/p>\n

Tkachuk didn\u2019t confirm whether the team will be at the State of the Union, but suggested that they will party in Miami on Monday night and then head to D.C. on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
