NHL Removes Dylan Strome ‘Girl Dad’ Post Following Backlash Tied to Trump Call Video

Strome’s wife says their two-year-old was dragged into a narrative they did not choose.

Overview

  • The league deleted an X post that labeled the Capitals forward “the ultimate girl dad” after users linked it to a viral clip of U.S. men’s Olympians laughing during a call with President Trump.
  • Strome is Canadian and did not play at the 2026 Winter Olympics, yet some commenters misidentified him as part of Team USA.
  • Tayler Strome condemned abusive messages directed at their child, calling them “vile and disgusting” in an Instagram story.
  • The NHL has not publicly provided a reason for removing the post, and outlets reported requesting comment from the league.
  • The image showed Strome with his young daughter dressed as a princess at Disneyland’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, which became a flashpoint after the misattribution.
