Congratulations Michael

History was never guaranteed. It had to be earned. The inaugural Team USA Women’s Legends came to Prague carrying decades of sacrifice, passion, and love for the game. They represented not only themselves, but every woman who helped build ball hockey in the United States. Together, they wrote the first chapter of a story that will be remembered for years to come. After a hard-fought tournament, these women leave the 2026 ISBHF Legends World Championships as Bronze Medalists.

Congratulations to Captain Nancy O’Hallaran, who was named Player of the Game in the bronze medal victory, leading by example until the very end. Thank you to every player, coach, staff member, family member, and supporter who believed in this team. This medal is more than a finish. It’s a legacy. Congratulations, Team USA Women’s Legends. 🥉🇺🇸💙❤️

The score wasn’t the ending the Men’s Legends had hoped for, but this group represented the United States with pride from the opening faceoff to the final horn. Thank you to every player, coach, staff member, and supporter who made this journey one to remember. Congratulations to John Bohrer on earning Player of the Game. Go USA! ISBHF

Two great teams. One final mission. The Men’s Legends take the floor one last time, battling host Czechia in the 5th Place Game. The Women’s Legends close out their historic inaugural tournament with one final opportunity to bring home hardware as they face Great Britain in the Bronze Medal Game. ISBHF

The inaugural Women’s Legends left everything on the floor in a hard-fought semifinal battle against host Czechia. While the result didn’t go Team USA’s way, the opportunity isn’t over. Tomorrow, they’ll take the dek one final time with a bronze medal on the line against Great Britain. Michelle Feairheller earned Player of the Game! ISBHF Michelle Feairheller

Photo dump for the ladies! Big game today! Be sure to tune in at 12PM ET! Let’s go, USA!!! ISBHF

The inaugural Team USA Women’s Legends enter the medal round as the No. 3 seed for a rematch with Czechia. The last time these teams met, the hosts came away with the victory. Now, with a trip to the gold medal game on the line, Team USA has another chance. Can the first-ever Women’s Legends make history? ISBHF
