Boston Fleet captain Hilary Knight shared a sweet holiday video with Brooke Bowe on her Instagram story. Knight wore a blue beanie and beige hoodie, holding a fluffy Persian cat in a blue knitted sweater. Bowe, in a gray t-shirt and sweatpants, posed playfully next to her.
The video focused on their lighthearted holiday moment. The cat’s tiny new sweater added a charming touch.
Brooke Bowe was also seen playing with the pet cat and wrote:
"Let the adventures begin".
She also shared pictures of the Christmas food items, which had turkey on the menu.
Earlier in November, during the rivalry series, leading team USA, Knight shared that playing in Boise, Idaho, holds a special place for her. She said:
"I just think back of all the amazing things that this sport has given me and the opportunities playing has afforded me to be able to go around the world and receive an education and meet these amazing people,” Knight said per teamusa.usahockey.com.
"To be able to share just a piece of that with the area I call home, whether that's through the actual competition, the Rivalry Series, or just having more eyes that are now on the sport is really special and surreal in many ways. It’s a dream come true."
This PWHL season started on November 30, and Knight is leading the Fleet as captain. Knight’s video offered fans a glimpse of her life off the ice while celebrating the holiday spirit.
