Caroline Harvey was at the 2022 Winter Olympics, but she was the least-played skater for the Team USA women’s hockey team.<\/p>\n

This time around, she’s been one of the best players on the ice as the United States chases a gold medal in Milan 2026.<\/p>\n

Harvey, a defender who plays at national powerhouse Wisconsin, has captured the attention of the entire hockey world.<\/p>\n

For example: Florida Panthers and U.S. men’s star Matthew Tkachuk compared Harvey to Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr.<\/p>\n

He said that after the United States blitzed Canada in a 5-0 win in the preliminary round. Harvey is up to a team-leading seven points in the Olympics entering the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n

U.S. vs. Canada is expected to be the gold medal match, with the United States having won gold in 2018 before Canada got it back in 2022.<\/p>\n

They’re still on a collision course, but it looks like Team USA might hold the upper hand.<\/p>\n

Part of the reason for that is the emergence of Harvey. She isn’t technically a new Olympian, but she’s new to this massive role.<\/p>\n

And if Harvey keeps playing like Orr, no one will be beating the United States anytime soon.<\/p>\n
