Hilary Knight, a star of U.S. women's hockey, has decided that the upcoming 2026 Milan Winter Games will be her final Olympics. At 36, Knight reflects on her two-decade journey with the national team, expressing gratitude and a sense of timing for her retirement. Highly decorated, she led the U.S. to numerous victories, including ten world championships and Olympic gold in 2018. Despite stepping back from international play, she aims to continue her career in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL), where her influence has been significant, advocating for better treatment of women players.
"It's time," Knight was quoted as saying.
"I have grown up in this program and it's just given me so much. I'm at peace. I just have this feeling that it's time...I'm grateful that -- hopefully I can stay healthy and everything -- I can go out when I'd like to be done."
