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.

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

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.

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 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.
