You can now congratulate the U.S. Olympic Women’s Hockey Team yourself

Move over, “Miracle on Ice”—the 2026 Winter Olympics just got a much-needed upgrade in the history books, and it involves significantly less 1980s hair.
The U.S. Women’s Hockey Team secured a historic gold medal win this week, but the real spotlight belongs to 22-year-old Laila Edwards. By snagging the gold, Edwards became the first Black woman to achieve the feat, proving that breaking glass ceilings is much more efficient when you’re wearing skates and carrying a stick.
For those fans who are currently vibrating with patriotic pride and have nowhere to put it, the team has launched a toll-free hotline: 1-800-SHE-WINS1.
The initiative allows the public to leave congratulatory messages for the players, presumably because shouting “USA!” at your television isn’t technically a two-way communication channel. It’s essentially a digital guestbook for people who still enjoy the nostalgic thrill of a voicemail greeting.
The hotline aims to shower the team with support and highlight their achievements, so feel free to call in and express your joy.
