Who Is Megan Keller? U.S. Women's Hockey Star Scores Olympic Gold

Longstanding Olympic rivals the United States and Canada met again at the Milan Cortina Winter Games, capping a tournament in which both teams skated through dominant performances to reach the gold medal game. The American and Canadian women have faced off in the final in seven of the last eight Winter Olympics, and in Milan Cortina the outcome hinged on one sudden-death goal from Megan Keller.

Keller began skating at age three and insisted on wearing hockey gear to lessons from the start. She played four seasons at Boston College, set several program records and was named a first-team All-American twice, earning a reputation as one of the top defenders in women’s hockey.

Keller made her first Olympic team in Pyeongchang 2018, spent time with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association, and now plays for the Boston Fleet in the PWHL. She has been a fixture on the U.S.
