Les Canadiennes made a huge splash yesterday when they announced that Hilary Knight will be joining the team for the remainder of the season and playoffs.
Knight is a household name to anyone who has even remotely heard of women’s hockey. She is one of the more recognizable names in the sport’s history whether it’s in Canada, the United States, or around the world.
She has done a lot of things on an ice rink that has made her that household name. Here are a few, and what she can bring to Les Canadiennes.
Knight, of course, scored the opening goal of the 2018 Olympic gold medal game on the power play to give the United States a 1-0 lead in the final minute of the first period.
