Olympic champion and Team USA captain Hilary Knight will be moving to Detroit’s PWHL franchise in a sign-and-trade arrangement with Las Vegas, according to multiple media reports.<\/p>

The Las Vegas team announced Tuesday that they had signed the 36-year-old forward to a one-year deal.<\/p>

According to the reports, Detroit will give up its first-round selection in next week’s draft to obtain Knight from Las Vegas. The transaction cannot be finalized until the PWHL’s trade moratorium ends on June 16, one day prior to the draft.<\/p>

Knight, who has competed in five Olympics and captured her second gold medal at this year’s Milano Cortina Winter Games, ranks among women’s hockey’s most accomplished athletes. The world champion has claimed 10 world titles, including gold in South Korea in 2018, along with three silver medals.<\/p>

During the previous season, Knight served as the first captain of the Seattle Torrent, recording 14 points on five goals and nine assists across 22 contests. Her initial two PWHL campaigns were spent leading Boston as captain, and she has accumulated 54 points through 26 goals and 28 assists over 76 league appearances.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
