In men's hockey, only 30 players in history have achieved the 'Triple Gold' by winning the Stanley Cup, an Olympic gold medal, and a World Championship gold medal. The women's equivalent club is much smaller, as only the Minnesota Frost have yet to win a Walter Cup title.
This week, the women's club could grow by three players if the United States wins gold at the 2026 Milan Olympics. After securing the 2025 Walter Cup and the 2025 World Championship gold, Taylor Heise, Grace Zumwinkle, and Britta Curl-Salemme would join the club with an Olympic victory. Remarkably, the trio would accomplish this feat within an 11-month span.
Currently, six players are members of the women's Triple Gold Club, including five Americans from the 2018 Olympic team. The sole Canadian member is defender Claire Thompson. Players like Kelly Pannek, Kendall Coyne Schofield, and Lee Stecklein are poised to become 'Double Triple Gold' members with two titles in each category.
