The U.S. women's ice hockey team said Monday they will not be attending President Trump's State of the Union address, citing scheduling conflicts.

After Team USA won gold in the mixed team aerials final on Saturday, the nation made personal history with its most golds won in a single Winter Olympics. Then on the last day of the games, Team USA stunned Canada 2-1 in overtime to win men's ice hockey gold and add to the total collection.

After winning gold, President Donald Trump invited the team to the State of the Union address on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. Many will be flying there on Tuesday. “This is awesome, just a great reception here at home,” Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski said. “It’s always nice to be back in America.’’
