President Donald Trump just introduced the U.S. men’s hockey team as his special guests at the State of the Union address on Tuesday — showing the gold medal winners grinning from ear-to-ear.

They were honored for about five minutes full of applause, cheers and U-S-A chants that rang throughout the Capital building. Trump congratulated them — and noted it was the first time he saw Democrats rise from their seats.

“Here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud,” he said as the team entered the House chamber.

Trump also congratulated the U.S. women’s team for its gold medal … saying they “soon will be coming to the White House.”

POTUS made the promise just minutes after the Red, White and Blue won the overtime thriller over Canada on Sunday … telling the guys he’d love to have them experience his speech in person, while also joking he had to invite the gold medal-winning women’s team too, or he’d be impeached.

There has been some controversy around Team USA fanboying over Trump … but as Olympic hero Jack Hughes put it, their focus is on patriotism, not politics.

The backlash didn’t derail the squad from their festivities … which included a trip to E11EVEN in Miami before hopping on an Air Force jet to get to the White House for a tour.

The gang even had some one-on-one time with Trump in the Oval Office … but several players opted out of the trip altogether.
