The U.S. men’s hockey team gathered at the White House on Tuesday ahead of President Trump’s State of the Union address, but Brock Nelson of the Colorado Avalanche was absent. Nelson, a key forward for the Olympic gold medal-winning team, remained in Denver with his family instead of attending the event in Washington, D.C.
