Hilary Knight Makes Us Women’s Hockey Fans Again

A few months back, women's hockey was all the rage when Team USA took Silver at the Olympics in Sochi. The forward who scored the first goal of the Olympics for Team USA, Hilary Knight, recently posed for the ESPN The Magazine Body Issue (link below) in nothing but a pair of skates.  

The 25-year old is trying to empower muscular women to realize that they're beautiful too. 

I had this idea that muscular isn't feminine. There is this image of athletic women as small and petite -- the yoga body type. Women in general, we tend to shrink ourselves and not have as much confidence as we should in presenting ourselves and our body types. It's OK to be fit and healthy and comfortable within your body, whatever frame you have. Since gaining 15 pounds to be at the top of my sport [for the Olympics], I've tried to shatter the body image that muscular isn't feminine.

Damn, girl, consider it shattered.
