  • Five-time Olympian Hilary Knight has signed a two-year contract extension with the PWHL’s Detroit expansion franchise, keeping her with the team through the 2028-29 season.
  • The deal follows a complex sign-and-trade sequence that saw Knight move from Las Vegas to Detroit earlier this month.
  • Knight joins a star-studded roster in Detroit that includes fellow U.S. Olympians Britta Curl-Salemme, Hannah Bilka, and Cayla Barnes.
  • The 36-year-old forward expressed strong confidence in the vision set by Detroit GM Manon Rheaume to build a winning culture from the ground up.
  • Despite recently winning Olympic gold in Milan Cortina, Knight remains fully committed to her professional club career following her recovery from a season-ending knee injury.
