NHL Pulls 'Girl Dad' Post After Backlash Falsely Ties Dylan Strome to Trump Call

The Canadian center was wrongly tied online to a separate viral clip of U.S. Olympians laughing during a call with President Trump.

Overview

  • The NHL deleted its X post calling Strome the "ultimate girl dad" and has not offered a public explanation.
  • The photo showed Strome at Disneyland’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique with his two-year-old daughter in a princess dress.
  • Online critics linked the post to a video of U.S. men's Olympic players laughing during President Trump's congratulatory phone call.
  • Strome is Canadian, did not compete at the Olympics, and had no involvement in that call.
  • Strome’s wife condemned abusive messages aimed at their toddler, describing the comments as "vile and disgusting."
