about

Hilary Knight is an Olympic Gold medalist, three-time Olympic Silver medalist, nine-time IIHF World Champion, 2023 IIHF Female Player of the Year, and arguably the best female hockey player in the world. An outspoken advocate for gender equality, she is changing the landscape for women in hockey.

Hilary is the first player in IIHF Women’s World Championships history to score 100 points. She also holds the records for most goals scored all-time. Hilary has played in the most Olympic games ever in U.S. Women’s Hockey history.

Hilary grew up in a skiing household with parents who had never ice skated. She was on skis at the age of two, but when she turned five, her family moved to Chicago and she began playing ice hockey. Her three younger brothers all played hockey and helped her hone her skills growing up. At five years old, Hilary told her grandmother she was going to play ice hockey in the Olympics. Her grandma expressed her concerns and told Hilary that girls don't play hockey. Hilary's mom, Cynthia, responded, "Get with the times. Hilary plays hockey."

In 2014, Hilary made history in 2014 as the first female skated (non-goalie) to practice with an NHL team after she took the ice with the Anaheim Ducks.

As captain of Team USA, Hilary helped lead the team to Gold at nine IIHF World Championships. In 2023, she became the first player in WWC history to score 100 points.

Hilary was a critical and powerful voice in the US Women’s National Team’s fight for equal pay in the spring of 2017, only a few weeks before the IIHF World Championships. Hilary continues the conversation for equitable pay support across all sports. Her impact on women’s sports has created an opportunity for women and girls everywhere to step up and compete.

A four-time Olympian and recent MBA graduate, Hilary is a veteran leader and captain on the U.S. Women’s Hockey team. She played an instrumental role in building the new women’s hockey league, the PWHL, from the ground up. The goal was to build a sustainable women’s hockey league for generations to come. Hilary will return to Boston to play for the Boston PWHL team.
