Description
🥇 She wrote it on the whiteboard for a year: “I am a gold medalist.” Now it’s real.
In this unforgettable crossover episode of Our Kids Play Hockey and Our Girls Play Hockey, Olympic Gold Medalist Hayley Scamurra joins us fresh off Team USA’s historic championship run — and yes… she’s still wearing the medal.
Seven games. Seven wins. Two goals in the opener. A perfect penalty kill. A 2–1 overtime thriller against Canada. And the most-watched women’s hockey game in history.
This wasn’t just a win. This was a moment.
Hayley takes us inside the locker room before overtime, the emotional release when the golden goal hit the back of the net, and what it felt like to step over the boards and jump into history.
We talk about:
✨ Manifestation and mindset
🥇 The leadership of Hillary Knight
💪 Playing the 13th forward role to perfection
🚫 A 100% penalty kill (yes, really)
🔥 The most dominant Olympic performance ever?
📈 The explosion of women’s hockey
🧠 Coaching lessons youth coaches can apply tomorrow
🎤 Meeting Snoop (multiple times)
Hayley also opens up about the sacrifices, the lonely moments growing up, and what holding that gold medal truly represents.
This episode isn’t just about winning.
It’s about belief.
It’s about preparation.
It’s about team culture.
And it’s about what happens when women’s hockey takes center stage — and the world finally watches.
