See how the U.S. men’s hockey team celebrated Olympic gold at a Miami nightclub

They landed in Miami as champions.

And like champions do in Miami, they celebrated.

The United States men’s hockey team, fresh off winning a gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, used the little time they had on an impromptu trip to Miami — their original itinerary to New York was thwarted by a winter storm — to their advantage.

They had a team dinner at Cote Korean steakhouse in the Design District before going to Miami nightclub E11even to cap the evening.

The team arrived at E11EVEN at 11 p.m. to a crowd of over 2,000 fans. They walked the red carpet with their gold medals before heading into the club where bottle parades were waiting for them. The team reportedly downed more than $150,000 in champagne, much of which was sprayed into the crowd and poured into fans’ mouths by the champions themselves.

Florida Panther star Matthew Tkachuk grabbed the mic and got the crowd singing “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” by Toby Keith.

One final chance to relish in their accomplishment — the United States’ first gold medal in men’s hockey since 1980 — before returning to their day job as NHL players.
