USA Hockey and the White House have not immediately responded to a request for comment by Fox News Digital.

The women’s team declined Trump’s invitation to attend his State of the Union address on Tuesday night in Washington, D.C., citing "previously scheduled academic and professional commitments."

"We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medal-winning U.S. Women’s Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement," USA Hockey toldNBC News. "Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate.

"They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment."

Trump received criticism for what some viewed as disrespect toward the women’s team while on a phone call with the men’s team after their overtime victory overCanadaon Sunday. While Jack Hughes quickly became an American hero with his gold-medal-winning goal, Megan Keller did the same thing in overtime three days before his to defeat Canada in their matchup.

During the viral clip of Trump’s phone call to the men’s team, he said that he would "have" to invite the women’s team to the State of the Union, too, otherwise, "I probably would be impeached."
