Connor Storrie Welcomes U.S. Olympic Hockey Gold Medalists on SNL
connor storrie, the 26-year-old star of the hockey-themed Canadian series Heated Rivalry, was interrupted on Saturday when Olympic gold medal winners from the U. S. men’s and women’s hockey teams crashed his SNL monologue — and two members of the women’s team used the moment to take a shot at Donald Trump’s dismissive comment about them.

Storrie opened the monologue by joking about learning to look like a hockey player as part of the job, saying, “I am just so thankful for everything this job gives me the chance to do. Like, in two weeks I had the chance to learn how to speak Russian and look like I knew how to play hockey, ” and then adding, “I don’t think I pulled it off. ” He was joined onstage by Quinn and Jack Hughes after quips about how Heated Rivalry is “kinda” about hockey and centers on two male players on rival teams who are in a relationship; Storrie said he hoped at least some pro players had seen the show.
Women's gold medalists call out Trump's remark
Megan Keller and Hilary Knight — each of whom also won gold in the 2018 games — then entered and told the group they had seen the show. Knight quipped onstage, “It was going to be just us, but we thought we’d invite the guys, too. ” That line referenced a phone call in which Trump, while inviting the men’s team to the White House after their win, said, “we’re going to have to bring the women’s team. ”
Knight frames the moment with a larger complaint
Knight later told SportsCenter that Trump’s “distasteful joke” was “overshadowing a lot of the success, the success of just women at the Olympics carrying for Team USA and having amazing gold medal feats. ” Players on the men’s team had varying reactions, and the U. S. women’s team has since declined Trump’s White House invitation.
