The U.S. men's Olympic hockey team visits the White House after their gold medal victory at the Milan Cortina Olympics. The team arrived at Joint Base Andrews and celebrated onboard a government plane. They clinched gold with a thrilling 2-1 overtime win against Canada, marking their first championship in men's hockey since the "Miracle on Ice" in 1980. Following the victory, President Donald Trump extended an invitation to the team for his State of the Union address. A viral video shows Trump inviting the team during a phone call in the locker room. The women's team, also gold medalists, declined to attend due to scheduling conflicts. The men's squad took a chartered flight to Miami before heading to Washington, D.C. They posed for photos at the White House and walked the West Wing colonnade, where Trump displays portraits of every U.S. president.
