Matthew Tkachuk, U.S. men\u2019s hockey gold medalist and Florida Panthers star, brushed off criticism around the national team\u2019s decision to visit President Donald Trump<\/a> at the White House.<\/p>\n

Tkachuk appeared on “Hang Out with Sean Hannity”<\/a> and touched on the criticism he and his teammates received over their celebration in the locker room and their decision to fly to Washington, D.C., to see Trump and attend his State of the Union address.<\/p>\n

“For us, there\u2019s gonna be criticism for everything we\u2019ve done \u2013 all of the partying we\u2019ve done, all the fun we\u2019ve been having,” he said. “But we\u2019ve earned the right to have the greatest time and the greatest celebration. Of course, one of the first invites we get is from the president in the locker room<\/a>. It was the quickest \u2018yes\u2019 ever.”<\/p>\n

Tkachuk said the team would have gone to the White House no matter who was presiding over the country.<\/p>\n

“It doesn\u2019t matter who was president,” he continued. “We are getting invited as Team USA to go to the White House and represent the sport of hockey, represent USA hockey, be representatives of Americans. What an honor this is.”<\/p>\n

Not every member of the U.S. men\u2019s hockey team went to the White House, as some cited constraints with resuming the NHL regular season<\/a> as the playoffs neared.<\/p>\n

Tkachuk has been to the White House a few times since Trump began his second term in office. He and the Panthers<\/a> celebrated their Stanley Cup title victories at the White House as well.<\/p>\n

Team USA defeated Canada in overtime to win the gold medal.<\/p>\n
