Hilary Knight Locked in Through 2028-29 After Signing 2-Year Contract Extension with PWHL Detroit
The five-time Olympian will stay with the expansion team through the 2028-29 season after a sign-and-trade move from Las Vegas.
- On Thursday, five-time Olympian Hilary Knight signed a two-year contract extension with PWHL Detroit, securing her presence through the 2028-29 season.
- Detroit acquired Knight earlier this month in a sign-and-trade deal with expansion rival PWHL Las Vegas, following her seasons with the Seattle Torrent and Boston.
- Knight cited general manager Manon Rheaume's leadership as the primary motivator, joining a roster featuring fellow U.S. Olympians Cayla Barnes, Hannah Bilka, and Britta Curl-Salemme.
- "This opportunity came knocking," Knight said, emphasizing her desire to build the team's foundation while relocating to Detroit with partner Brittany Bowe and their 8-year-old dog, Bane.
- The team will play home games at Little Caesars Arena, with Knight planning to play at least three more years to help grow women's sports in Detroit.
