President Donald Trump gave the first State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday night, and making major headlines with their attendance was the United States gold medal winning hockey team fresh off their triumph over Canada.

Defeating the powerhouse neighbors to the north in a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory, US Hockey delivered America its first gold in the sport since the 1980 Miracle on Ice team. While there were numerous heroes who came up huge to help secure the win, the man who will go down in history is goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who came up with 41 saves to preserve the victory for the red, white and blue.

During his speech, Trump announced Hellebuyck would be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his heroics, the highest honor a citizen can get.

“Great athletes have gotten that, very great, the best,” Trump said. “I thought he deserved it. I did take a vote — every single one of them. I said, ‘I’m not giving it if anybody goes no,’ and every single one of them rapidly put up their hand. So, I want to thank you all. What a special job you did. What special champions you are.”

Last season, Hellebuyck became the first NHL goalie to win the league’s MVP trophy in a decade, however the gold medal and now Presidential Medal of Freedom are certainly the most special distinctions of his storied career. He will join an illustrious list of athletes to receive the honor that includes Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth and Tiger Woods.

It’s safe to say America is not going to be forgetting the performance of Hellebuyck anytime soon, and now he will get a second medal to add to the collection.
