What to know about the U.S. women's hockey team at the 2026 Winter Olympics
The U.S. women's hockey team has gold on their minds for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. The squad last won gold at the 2018 Games in PyeongChang over Canada and they're hungry to get back on top once again.
Four-time Olympian Kendall Coyne Schofield said that “a gold medal and gold medal only” is the expectation for Team USA, as the rivalry between the U.S. and Canada seems hotter than ever on the ice. While Team USA swept the Canadians in the most recent Rivalry Series tournament, Canada has won five total gold medals at the Olympics, including at the most recent Beijing Games.
U.S. captain Hilary Knight shared the same sentiment as Coyne Schofield and said she wants to go out on top after her fifth and final Olympic Games. In Milan, Knight will become the first U.S. hockey player to participate in five Olympics, and if she earns her fifth medal of any color, she’ll tie the record for the most hockey medals in history.
Twenty-one-year-old defender Laila Edwards will put her own stamp in the history books, as she becomes the first Black woman to ever compete for the U.S. women's hockey team at the Olympics.
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 U.S. women's hockey Olympic roster.
