Swayman: Team USA 'should have reacted differently' to Trump's joke about US women's hockey team

"We should have reacted differently. We know that. We are so excited for the women's team. We have so much respect for the women's team, and to share that gold medal with them is something that we're forever grateful for. And now that we're home, we get to share that together forever and see the incredible support that we have from the USA and sharing this incredible gold medal."

"I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that. I'd probably be impeached if I didn't invite the women's team."

After the U.S. men's hockey team won gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics, defeating Canada 2-1 in overtime, President Trump called the team in their dressing room. During the call, Trump made a joke about the women's team, which had also won gold by defeating Canada 2-1 in overtime. Several men's players laughed at the comment. Days later, Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman told reporters the team regretted their reaction and should have responded differently. Swayman emphasized the team's respect for the women's achievement and gratitude for sharing the gold medal moment together, noting the incredible support from the United States for both teams.
