Maddie Rooney is living the good life right now.
After leading the U.S.A Hockey women’s team to a gold medal at the Pyeonchang with a stellar performance in the shootout showdown against Team Canada, the 20-year-old goaltender had her Wikipedia page edited to make her position change from “goaltender” to “United States Secretary of Defense.”
Rooney let Justin Bieber know that if he ever needs a beer league back-up goaltender, she's the one he needs to call. She also challenged The Biebs to a game of 1-on-1 when she and her teammates appeared on the ‘Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.'
Although the Biebs didn’t respond to Maddie’s challenge tweet, he did shout her out on Instagram for wearing a Team Bieber shirt.
While the Minnesota product didn’t receive an exact answer, she did happen to get a good old fashion letter from a pretty notable figure. That would be the actual Defense Secretary of the United States, Jim Mattis.
In case you can’t fully make out the writing, here’s the what Mattis had to say.
"Dear Madam Secretary Maddie,
I want to add my congratulations to you and your teammates for your magnificent performances in he gold medal game. You proved yourself in a hard-fought competition and I salute you - one Secretary of Defense to another!
We are all very proud of you.
Sincerely,
Jim Mattis"
