Former ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann took issue with the U.S. men\u2019s ice hockey team wanting to accept President Donald <\/a>Trump\u2019s<\/a> invite to his State of Union address on Tuesday night, while applauding the women\u2019s hockey team for declining the same gesture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both teams are fresh off Olympic gold over Canada, with overtime heroics needed in each contest by Jack Hughes for the men and Megan Keller for the women. As such, Trump extended an invite to both teams to his address, though the women\u2019s hockey team said “previously scheduled academic and professional commitments” led to turning down the invite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal-winning U.S. Women\u2019s Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement,” USA Hockey told\u00a0NBC News<\/a>. “Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate.<\/p>\n

“They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment.”<\/p>\n

Olbermann was pleased to see that news.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s official US Gold Winning Olympic Hockey team declined invitation to be political props for Trump at the SOTU tomorrow,” he wrote on X. “The women, that is.”<\/p>\n

Then, he took aim at the men\u2019s hockey team, which was seen reacting to Trump\u2019s invite during a phone call in the locker room after defeating Team Canada<\/a> to wrap up the 2026 Milan Cortina Games. Multiple players cut off Trump when he suggested they travel to the State of the Union address on an official invitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The men are still too stupid, self-absorbed and misogynistic to realize that going, will stick to them permanently,” Olbermann\u2019s post finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Olbermann also took exception to the White House<\/a> posting a picture of an eagle attacking a goose after Team USA\u2019s 2-1 victory, which marked the first time since the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” team the Americans won gold in men\u2019s hockey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The post came in response to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau\u2019s remarks about Canada when they defeated the U.S. in the 4 Nations Face-Off last year, writing at the time, “You can\u2019t take our country \u2014 and you can\u2019t take our game.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Trump’s Trash White House always acts as if it’s never been there before,” Olbermann, who has long been a Trump critic, wrote on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, players like Matthew Tkachuk believed it “super cool” that Trump called them after the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s an honor hearing from the President of the United States,” he said after arriving at Miami International Airport on Monday. “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

It\u2019s unknown if the men\u2019s hockey team did officially accept the invitation. They continued their celebrations in Miami, including an appearance at E11EVEN MIAMI nightclub on Monday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s address is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, while the NHL schedule resumes on Wednesday night across the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the phone call with the men\u2019s team, Trump\u00a0was explaining he could “send a military plane or something” for the team, one player cut him off and said, “We\u2019re in.”<\/p>\n

Trump also brought up the women\u2019s hockey team on the phone call, saying, “I must tell you, we\u2019re going to have to bring the women\u2019s team, you do know that.\u00a0Trump also joked, “I do believe I probably would be impeached,” if he didn\u2019t invite the women\u2019s team as well as the men.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Professional Women\u2019s Hockey League also resumes play on Thursday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
