As first-time Olympian Taylor Heise walked through the interview line, with a new gold medal around her neck, she too couldn't stop gushing about her team's talent.
USA roar back from brink to beat Canada in overtime and claim Olympic women’s ice hockey gold
Rescued from the brink of defeat by a deft touch from their captain in her final Olympics, the US beat Canada in Milan on Thursday to claim the women’s ice hockey gold medal.
Hilary Knight got engaged this week to the American speed skater, Brittany Bowe, and the 36-year-old now has another reason to celebrate.

The 2026 US Olympic women's ice hockey team features 23 players, 13 forwards, seven defenders and three goaltenders, and boasts 21 returnees from the 2025 US women's national team that took home gold at the 2025 IIHF Women's World Championship in April. Eleven of the 23 have prior Olympic experience.
