Kevin has your feel-good moment of the day, and it’s one for the history books! Hillary Knight of the U.S. women’s hockey team had an unforgettable night that combined love, triumph, and pure gold.
The U.S. team defeated Canada 2-1 in overtime to claim their first gold medal since 2018. Trailing for most of the game, Hillary scored the tying goal with less than three minutes left, paving the way for Megan Keller’s sudden-death overtime goal to clinch the win.
But here’s the kicker, before the game even started, Hillary got down on one skate and proposed. She said yes! From fiancée to gold medalist in a single night, it was a whirlwind of emotions. Even the team’s coach couldn’t hold back tears of joy.
Kevin says this is exactly the kind of story we all need, a reminder that sometimes life’s biggest victories are about love, hard work, and unforgettable moments. Congrats, Hillary!
