Following in the footsteps of past champions from the four major sports, the 2024 Stanley Cup champs were hosted by President Donald J. Trump at the White House on Monday.

Though the ceremony was delayed because President Donald Trump was talking to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about pausing tariffs on the country, he did eventually hold a celebration for the Stanley Cup-champion Florida Panthers on Monday.

The Florida Panthers all wore red ties like Donald Trump during their White House visit and he seemed to love it.

The Panthers won their first Stanley Cup in the franchise’s 30th season, with their run capped by beating the Edmonton Oilers in seven games after nearly blowing a 3-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final.

More than seven months after the Florida Panthers won their first Stanley Cup, the team visited the White House on Monday, during which President Donald Trump recounted "one of the most riveting comebacks in NHL history.

President Donald Trump mostly stuck to sports and avoided any talk of tariffs as he celebrated the NHL's defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers at the White House.

President Trump lauded the Panthers for winning the Stanley Cup last season for the first time in their 30 NHL seasons and recalled how they won the first three games the best-of-7 Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers before losing three in a row and regrouping to win 2-1 in Game 7.

The Panthers are the first professional sports team to visit Trump at the White House since he regained office.

The Florida Panthers enjoyed themselves on Sunday with a comeback win against the Islanders on the night they celebrated Dmitry Kulikov’s 1,000th NHL game before flying to Washington for a Monday visit to the White House.
