Getzville native and United States Olympic hockey gold medalist Hayley Scamurra attended the Buffalo Bills organized team activities in Orchard Park on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. The 31-year-old forward stood on the sidelines holding her five-pound Milan Cortina gold medal as quarterback Josh Allen broke the final practice huddle to greet her. Scamurra recently added the PWHL Walter Cup championship to her resume with the Montreal Victoire before returning home to Western New York.
Exchanging Jerseys and Celebrating Buffalo Grit
Allen and Scamurra officially exchanged jerseys on the practice field outside the ADPRO Sports Training Center. The Bills quarterback expressed immense respect for the women's national team following their undefeated Olympic run that culminated in a 2-1 overtime victory against Canada. Head coach Joe Brady spent five minutes speaking with the local hockey star, publicly praising her relentless work ethic and embodiment of the Buffalo mindset. Scamurra admitted the experience felt completely surreal after spending her childhood braving the cold weather to attend Bills games with her family.
What Happens Next
The Buffalo Bills continue their offseason schedule with another voluntary practice scheduled for Thursday, June 4, 2026. Scamurra will remain in the Buffalo area to host her three-day youth hockey clinic starting on June 24 in North Tonawanda. Fans looking to register their children for the upcoming on-ice sessions should contact the Buffalo Shamrocks organization immediately, as limited spots remain available.
