A spokesperson for the team told NBC News’ Monica Alba that the team, which won the gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, was “sincerely grateful” for the recognition, but the players are unable to attend “due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments.”
