President Donald Trump joked to the U.S. men’s hockey team in a phone call moments after their Olympic victory that he was being forced to invite the women’s team that also won gold.

Earlier in the day, the men’s team took on Canada in the gold medal game, where the U.S. triumphed less than two minutes into overtime as Jack Hughes scored the game-winner.

Days earlier, the U.S. women’s team also beat Canada in an overtime thriller.

As Sunday’s celebrations continued into the locker room on Sunday, the men’s team was joined by FBI Director Kash Patel. At one point during all the partying, the director was able to get Trump on the phone to congratulate the team on the win. In a video posted online, the president cracked a joke about American goalie Connor Hellebuyck, who had a number of clutch saves at the end of the game to keep the score tied.

“And by the way, your goalie played not bad,” Trump said as the team laughed. “I have seen hockey goalies have slightly worse games than him.”

Trump then praised the team, saying they were “unbelievable” in Sunday’s win.

Moments later, the president began formulating plans for celebrations back home. First, he invited the team to his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening. The players enthusiastically accepted the invite.

Then, the president said the team could join him at the White House, where he’ll present them with more medals. It was at that point that Trump lamented that he’d also have to invite the women’s team to the White House.

“And we have to, I must tell you, we’re gonna have to bring the woman’s team,” Trump said.

The players initially laughed at the remark, while one player off-screen shouted, “Two for two,” in reference to both teams winning gold.

“I do believe I would probably be impeached,” Trump said.

Patel then assured the president that he’d work out the logistics of getting the team to the White House sometime this week.

Who runs the world?

As No. 7 Iowa wrestling (12-6, 5-3 Big Ten) saw its 2025-26 regular-season slate conclude on a sour note via a 32-11 loss at No. 3 Oklahoma State (15-1, 7-0 Big 12) from Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla., on Sunday, Hawkeye fans voiced their displeasure on social media with the program's performance against the Cowboys.

Despite beating the Cowboys earlier this season at the National Duals Invitational semifinals in Tulsa, Okla., on Nov. 16, Oklahoma State manhandled Iowa by winning 7-of-10 matches, including three pins and two by technical fall decisions.

As Iowa now prepares for the March 7-8 Big Ten Championships from the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Penn., here are some of the top social media reactions to the Hawkeyes' dual meet against the Cowboys:

Jax Forrest is a high school kid. Embarrassing.

This wrestling program is lifeless. #Hawkeyes

Go to Iowa if you want to regress as a wrestler. Go to Iowa to learn how to not get takedowns in competitive matches

And this is where we must evaluate the state of the program that tom and terry brands have built with unlimited resources! Get rid of them!!

LMAO, do people understand now how this program isn’t chasing just PSU anymore and is falling behind others?

The Brands boys have been and are great Hawkeyes and they can hold their heads high and be proud of what they accomplished as wrestlers and as coaches but it's time for a change. There are no plausible excuses to continue down this path, it's over. Take a page from OSU.

Time to fire Tom Brands .....iowa wrestling is moving backwards

Tom Brands completely ruined Ben Kueter.

Fire him into the sun.

Can anyone tell me why the Brands are still there? There’s only 3 schools in the country that can hire whoever they want, and Iowa is one of them
