The 2026 U.S. Women’s Hockey Olympic gold medalists Haley Winn and Hayley Scamurra, together with USA Hockey Women’s National Team General Manager Katie Million, are set to appear at Saratoga Race Course on Whitney Day, August 8.
The trio will take part in a one‑hour fan meet‑and‑greet scheduled from roughly 3 to 4 p.m., giving supporters a rare opportunity to interact with the champions.
A Golden Homecoming in Saratoga
Katie Million expressed her excitement about celebrating the team’s historic triumph in the athletes’ home state, noting that the occasion blends sporting glory with the tradition of Saratoga’s summer meet.
Winn, a Rochester native, helped steer Team USA to the gold medal in Milan and was crowned PWHL Rookie of the Year in 2025, a testament to her rapid rise in the sport.
Scamurra, a Buffalo native, added a second Olympic medal to her résumé with a gold in Milan after securing silver four years earlier in Beijing, underscoring her consistency on the international stage.
David O’Rourke, president and CEO of the New York Racing Association, welcomed the athletes, highlighting the significance of their accomplishment and the inspirational impact they have on fans across the region.
Whitney Day, a centerpiece of the Saratoga summer meet, will feature the G1, $1 million Whitney race, a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” event for older horses, adding a high‑stakes racing backdrop to the celebratory atmosphere.
