Laila Edwards etched her name into the history books on February 19, 2026, becoming the first Black woman to capture Olympic gold with the United States women’s national ice hockey team. During the gold medal showdown at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the 22-year-old forward delivered in a major moment assisting on the game-tying goal in the third period against the Canada women’s national ice hockey team. #LailaEdwards #winterolympics
