Olympic hockey gold medalist Jeremy Swayman said he regretted laughing after President Donald Trump joked about possibly not inviting the women's hockey champions to the White House.

Following their gold-medal victory over Canada this week, Trump spoke by phone with the men's team.

"I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the woman's team. You do know that?" Trump lamented about inviting the women to the White House. "I do believe I probably would be impeached."

A video of the call showed the men's team laughing at Trump's joke.

"Jeremy, there was some negative reaction to that in the post-game video. Just what is your reaction to that?" a reporter asked Swayman on Wednesday.

"Yeah, we should have reacted differently," the hockey star admitted. "We know that we are so excited for the women's team. We have so much respect for the women's team. And to share that gold medal with them is something that we're forever grateful for. And, you know, now that we're home, we get to share that together forever and see the incredible support that we have from the USA and sharing this incredible gold medal."

That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…
