Hilary Knight Teases Trump Saga During Hughes Brothers Reunion

Team USA hockey stars Hilary Knight and Megan Keller, along with men's team members Jack and Quinn Hughes, appeared on Saturday Night Live to humorously address the women's feud with President Donald Trump. Knight mentioned that they decided to invite the guys as well, receiving applause from the audience.

During the show, Connor Storrie, guest host and star of Heated Rivalry, was joined by the Hughes brothers onstage after praising the amazing players from Team USA hockey at the Winter Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina. Storrie humorously reflected on his portrayal of a hockey star, with Jack and Quinn praising his performance.

The interaction included jokes about Storrie's character having his teeth knocked out, referencing Jack's injury. Knight and Keller appeared to assure Storrie that they had watched his show. The group discussed the importance of representation in hockey and the significance of having hockey legends present.

President Donald Trump referenced the U.S. women's hockey team during his 2026 State of the Union speech after they declined an invitation to the White House. The men's hockey team, including the Hughes brothers, visited the White House and attended Trump's speech where he acknowledged their achievements.

Knight addressed the controversy over Trump's initial snub, labeling it as distasteful and unfortunate during a press conference. She emphasized the importance of championing women for their accomplishments and criticized the need to explain someone else's behavior.
