Zoe Hickel is a former professional ice hockey player and Team USA Gold Medalist. Zoe has played the sport she loves all over the world and has competed in two International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s World Championships (gold-2015, 2016) and one Four Nations Cup (1st-2015).

Zoe currently manages Hockey Programming and Community Relations for the Coachella Valley Firebirds, the AHL affiliate of the Seattle Kracken. She is leaping into this next chapter of life- fresh from finishing assistant coaching for the Ohio State University women's hockey team. As an assistant coach, Zoe got to witness the Buckeyes' women's hockey team greet much success by securing their first ever NCAA National Championship in March 2022.

Now that she's been transplanted to California, Zoe is excited to welcome her love for hockey in a different capacity. While Zoe still trains, coaches, and educates many up and coming players, she is transitioning her focus onto a management and developmental role for the Coachella Valley Firebirds.

Zoe shares with us that people don't really listen to what you have to say, until they feel like you care about them on a personal level. She brought her spunk, adventurous stories, and full circle moments to the table in this interview. You won't want to miss it. Sit back, relax, and get your pens ready!!
