Hilary Knight and Evan Bates have been chosen as Team USA's flag bearers for the 2026 Winter Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday.
Knight is the captain of the gold-medal-winning U.S. women's hockey team, and her third-period goal against Canada ended up sending the game into overtime, where Megan Keller’s goal four minutes into the extra period gave the U.S. a 2-1 victory and their third gold medal in the event.
"I’m so, so honored to be part of this team. You guys are all so wonderful. And I think I can speak for Evan and myself when I say we are all so proud of everything you guys have accomplished and the people that you are and the people that you’ve become to be here today," Knight said.
Bates also won a gold medal in the figure skating team event and another silver medal in ice dance with his partner and wife, Madison Chock.
Knight and Bates were surprised by the announcement on the TODAY Show.
