U.S. women's hockey star and Olympic gold medalist Hilary Knight is speaking out following President Donald Trump's now-viral phone call to theU.S. men's hockey teamfollowing their gold medal win at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.
"I thought the call in itself was distasteful and an awesome learning moment to refocus the narrative and understand our words matter, and how we speak about women matters, and we need to celebrate this team," Knight said on"Good Morning America"Thursday morning.

In a postgame call with the men's hockey team, Trump invited the team to the State of the Union address in Washington, D.C., and said he would "have to" invite the Olympic gold medal-winning women's team as well.
"I must tell you, we're gonna have to bring the women's team. You do know that," Trump said, prompting laughter from the men's team. "I do believe I probably would be impeached."
