Flavor Flav is set to honor the U.S. women's hockey team with a city‑wide celebration in Las Vegas after their historic gold‑medal performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
She Got Game: A Vegas Tribute
The event, dubbed "She Got Game", will feature a ceremony where the athletes are presented with a key to the city and an official proclamation, underscoring the city's gratitude for their achievement.
The team's journey to the podium was marked by dominant performances and a dramatic final that capped a tournament many are already calling the most thrilling in women's hockey history.
Originally slated to attend a White House reception, the players opted out due to a scheduling conflict, a decision that sparked commentary from political figures.
Former president Donald Trump, known for his blunt style, made a dismissive comment about the invitation, suggesting the team would have preferred a different kind of welcome.
Organizers say the celebration will also highlight the broader impact of women's sports, with plans for youth clinics and community outreach programs that run alongside the festivities.
The United States Olympic Committee, which oversaw the team's preparation, praised the initiative, noting that the recognition reflects a growing appetite for celebrating female athletes on a national stage.
While the exact date of the Las Vegas ceremony has yet to be announced, officials expect it to draw significant media attention and sponsor interest, further cementing the team's place in sporting lore.
