NHL players were back at practice with their teams on Feb. 25 as the athletes gear up for the resumption of the NHL regular season.

Jeremy Swayman, who was a backup for the U.S. men's ice hockey team that won gold at Milano Cortina, rejoined the Boston Bruins on Wednesday after going to Washington, D.C., and visiting the White House and appearing at the State of the Union with most of his teammates.

During media availability Wednesday, Swayman was asked about the team's reaction to a remark made by President Donald Trump about the U.S. women's national ice hockey, which also won gold.

Swayman said the U.S. men's team "should have reacted differently" and voiced his support for the U.S. women's team.

"Yeah, we should have reacted differently," Swayman told reporters. "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."
