Goalie Maddie Rooney gets appropriate Wikipedia update after gold medal

The Wikipedia page for US goalie Maddie Rooney received an appropriate update following her gold medal performance at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

After teammate Jocelyn Lamoureux scored in the sixth round of the shootout to give the US the edge on Canada, Rooney stopped Meghan Agosta to clinch the gold medal, giving the US a 3-2 shootout win over rival Canada.

Afterwards, some clever folks updated Rooney’s Wikipedia page to change her position from goalie to “United States Secretary of Defense.”

In all, the 20-year-old made 29 saves to help the US beat Canada and avenge the overtime loss from the 2014 Winter Games. What a game.
