Red, White and lots of Booze!
The Men’s USA hockey team celebrated their historic Winter Olympics 2026 gold medal victory with a champagne-fueled all-nighter in Miami and an emotional tribute to the late Johnny Gaudreau.
The athletes stayed at the luxurious 1 Hotel South Beach and dined at Cote Steakhouse before partying into the wee hours of the night at megaclub E11even on Monday.
The men were seen arriving at their posh accommodations after flying in from Milan and immediately bee-lined to the hotel’s rooftop pool, WATR, where they sipped on Michelob Ultra, a source tells Page Six.
“Guests gathered around as word spread quickly that the gold medalists were onsite,” the source shared.
The team made their way down to the lobby at around 9 p.m., where they were seen lighting up celebratory cigars before greeting a mob of cheering fans as they boarded a tour bus.
“They were shouting to the crowd on the bus. They are the happiest group,” a second source shared. “Many wearing their medals everywhere. They are just so proud. There were hundreds of people in the crowd.”
The team hit the Michelin-star steak house where they indulged in champagne, Petrossian caviar, and filet mignon, a third source shared.
At around 11 p.m., the Olympians rocked up to E11even, where they “stormed the red carpet” for photos before heading inside to take over the club’s party pit, where they were greeted by a bottle parade.
“More than 2,000 people were lined up outside hoping to get in for the sold-out party,” a nearby spy said.
We hear there was no shortage of alcohol options for the team as they were served E11EVEN Vodka, Armand de Brignac Gold, Bel Aire Gold, Don Julio 1942, Dame Mas Tequila, and Happy Dad.
“The team enjoyed more than $150,000 in champagne, much of which was sprayed into the crowd and poured into fans’ mouths by the champions themselves,” a club source said.
The team honored their country by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “We Are the Champions,” “Gold Bless the U.S.A.,” “Born in the U.S.A.”, and “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.”
At one point, they paid tribute to late hockey player Gaudreau by breaking out into a “Johnny Hockey” chant.
We’re told Connor Hellebuyck grabbed the mic and led the room in a “USA” chant, while Matthew Tkachuk dubbed Hellebuykck the “savior and secretary of defense.”
Brady Tkachuk hoisted Jack Hughes onto his shoulders while on the stage as they proudly waved an American flag and Jack Eichel and J.T. Miller were seen crowd surfing early in the a.m.
“The energy just never stopped for hours,” the fourth insider continued, calling it a “legendary night.”
Team USA didn’t get back to the hotel until around 4 a.m., our first source shared, noting that they all crashed, aside from one team member who ordered in-room dining.
We’re told they quickly collected their luggage before checking out of the hotel at 9 a.m. to head straight to the White House for their meeting with President Trump.
Early Sunday morning local time, USA took the gold in overtime after beating Canada 2-1, with Hughes making the game-winning goal.
The men’s gold came exactly 46 years after the US “Miracle on Ice,” and marks the third time the US has won an Olympic hockey gold.
