The U.S. women's hockey roster for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics is officially set.

Twenty-one-year-old Laila Edwards helped announce the upcoming squad Friday morning on TODAY. Edwards, one of the 23 players named to the roster, will make history at the Games as the first Black woman to ever compete for the U.S. women's hockey team at the Olympics.

Team USA captain Hilary Knight will help lead the team in Milan and will become the first U.S. hockey player to participate in five Olympic Games. Additionally, if she earns her fifth medal of any color, she’ll tie the record for the most hockey medals in history. Knight has said the 2026 Olympics will be the last of her career.

This will officially be the fourth Olympics for Kendall Coyne Schofield, who previously said that “a gold medal and gold medal only” is the expectation for Team USA.

Cayla Barnes, Hannah Bilka, Alex Carpenter, Britta Curl-Salemme, Joy Dunne, Aerin Frankel, Rory Guilday, Caroline Harvey, Taylor Heise, Tessa Janecke, Megan Keller, Ava McNaughton, Abbey Murphy, Kelly Pannek, Gwyneth Philips, Hayley Scamurra, Kirsten Simms, Lee Stecklein, Haley Winn and Grace Zumwinkle round out the remainder of the roster.

The roster for Milan Cortina features 11 players who took home silver at the 2022 Beijing Games and 21 members of the 2025 IIHF Women’s World Championship team.

Team USA swept Canada in the 2025 Rivalry Series and is expected to duke it out with the Canadians for gold at the Games.

The U.S. women's hockey team begins Olympic competition on Feb. 5, 2026 against Czechia at the Milano Rho ice hockey arena.
