COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Quinnipiac women's ice hockey assistant coach Brent Hill has been named to the 2026 U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey staff, USA Hockey announced Friday.
Hill returned to USA Hockey this year as an assistant coach for the 2025 U.S. Women's National Team, which captured the world championship in Czechia with an overtime win over Canada. He served in the same role in 2024 and for the gold medal–winning 2023 U.S. Women's National Team.
Hill has also been on the bench for Team USA in the Rivalry Series since 2023. Last month the U.S. earned decisive wins, defeating Canada 4-1 and 6-1 in games one and two. The series continues Wednesday at Rogers Place in Edmonton with games three and four.
Hill served as an assistant coach for the U.S. U18 Women's National Team at the 2015 IIHF Women's World Championship in Buffalo, N.Y., overseeing the defense and penalty kill. Team USA went on to defeat Canada in the championship game.
Now in his sixth year at Quinnipiac, Hill works primarily with the Bobcats' forwards and leads the program's power play.
The U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team will open competition in Milan on Feb. 5 against Czechia at 4:40 p.m. (local)/10:40 a.m. (ET). Group A's preliminary-round play also features matchups against Finland on Feb. 7, Switzerland on Feb. 9, and Canada on Feb. 10.
