The U.S. Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey Team, which includes four Seattle Torrent players, kicked off the 2026 Olympic Games with a 5-1 win over Czechia.

The Torrent’s Hilary Knight was named captain of the team, with Torrent forward Alex Carpenter joining the leadership team as one of two alternate captains. Torrent forward Hannah Bilka and defender Cayla Barnes are also on the roster.

Knight tied the record for the most career Olympic goals (14) in U.S. women’s ice hockey history this weekend. The five-time Olympian, who has announced the 2026 Winter Olympics will be her last, is now tied with Hockey Hall of Fame inductees Katie King and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Natalie Darwitz for most Olympic goals in U.S. Women’s Olympic history.

As of Monday, the team is five days into the 18-day competition.
