"If the USA Women's Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I'll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I'm sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real."
"The women's players accepted the invitation without input from USA Hockey, a person familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private. The person added that while the team is excited to attend, it's unclear if the entire 23-player roster will be on hand because of potential scheduling conflicts."
The U.S. women's hockey team will celebrate their Milan Cortina Olympics gold medal at a 'She Got Game' weekend event in Las Vegas from July 16-19, hosted by Flavor Flav in partnership with sports media brand The GIST and MGM Resorts. The event honors the women's hockey team and other female athletes. The players accepted the invitation independently without USA Hockey's input. Not all 23 roster members may attend due to scheduling conflicts. The celebration comes after the team declined an invitation to join the men's gold medal team at the State of the Union. Flavor Flav, a longtime women's sports supporter who attended Olympic competitions, quickly organized the event after the women's team turned down the Washington trip, offering dinners, shows, and celebrations.
