A four-time Olympic medalist, Angela Ruggiero was a dominating force on the blueline throughout her 15-plus-year career with the U.S. Women’s National Team. She has played more games (256) in a Team USA uniform than any other ice hockey player in the country’s history.

Ruggiero helped the U.S. claim the first-ever gold medal awarded in women’s ice hockey in the Olympic Winter Games in 1998 as the youngest member of the team and went on to win three other Olympic medals (silver-2002, 2010; bronze-2006).

At Harvard, she was a four-time NCAA All-American, an Academic All-American, helped Harvard win the 1999 national championship and was awarded the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Trophy in 2004 as the top women’s ice hockey player in the NCAA.

In 2015, she was inducted in the Hockey Hall of fame, only the fourth women ever to receive that honor. She served on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and was named to the Sports Business Journal's 40 Under 40. Ruggiero is currently a hockey operations advisor for the New York Rangers.
