Hayley Scamurra '13 Returns to the Olympic Stage

The Buffalo community has a familiar face to cheer for at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Hayley Scamurra, a 2013 graduate of Nichols School, has officially hit the ice for her second Olympic appearance with Team USA Women’s Hockey.

A native of Getzville, Scamurra grew up in a hockey family. Her father, Peter, was the first Buffalo native drafted into the NHL. After a standout collegiate career at Northeastern University, Hayley spent three seasons with the hometown Buffalo Beauts, helping them secure an Isobel Cup in 2017. Today, she is a veteran leader in the PWHL, currently playing for the Montreal Victoire.

We are incredibly proud of Hayley and wish her and Team USA the best of luck as they chase the gold in Italy!
