- Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie surprised the audience at SNL by bringing out players from both the U.S. men’s and women’s hockey teams, celebrating their recent Olympic victories.
- During the segment, members of the women’s team made a subtle jab at the men’s team for their visit to meet President Donald Trump at the White House.
- “It was going to be just us, but we thought we’d invite the guys, too," women’s hockey star Hilary Knight said in the skit. "Yeah, we thought we’d give them a little moment to shine,” her teammate Megan Keller added.
- This remark was a response to a comment made by Trump, who, after congratulating the men's team on their win, said he would have to invite the women's team to the White House too in order to avoid impeachment.
- Knight previously described Trump's joke as "distasteful", and men's team member Jeremy Swayman expressed regret over their reaction to the president's call.
