Best of 2026: Play MF'ing Free Bird! with Kelly Pannek

Ahead of Flavor Flav’s SHEWeekend celebrating the women of Team USA, we’re revisiting our conversation with two-time Olympic hockey gold medalist Kelly Pannek. Sarah sat down with Kelly back in February at the Team USA Winter House in Milan to discuss the rollercoaster of emotions she felt throughout the USA-Canada gold medal game, from the pre-game vibes to the locker room speeches to the post-game celebration (including which team snuck them some post-game brews!). They also discuss how she felt representing Team USA during a fraught time in our country, the highs and lows of three weeks living in the athlete village, and where that "In Keller We Trust" flag came from. Plus, hear what’s on Sarah’s itinerary as she heads to Vegas to party with Flavor Flav and the country’s top athletes.
