When hockey forward Hilary Knight isn't busy racking up world championship gold medals, she probably has her earbuds in. The six-time world champ and two-time Olympic silver medalist with the U.S. team is always on the move -- and therefore always jamming.

"I listen to music to pass the time whenever I'm traveling," she says, "whether it's to and from the rink, on a bus, on a plane. At the Olympics, my playlist depends who we're playing. If it's Canada, I might get some psych-up songs in there. But then it might be like, OK, let's chill this out and get your heart rate down."

Her go-to song right now? Frank Ocean's "Nights."

"It starts: 'Round the city, Round the clock, Everybody needs you, No you can't make everybody equal.' He's talking about priorities, I guess. When I first heard it, I was like, 'Why can't everything have an equal piece of your time?' Then I was like, 'OK, think about your day; I get where he's coming from.'"

Though her current list is Beyonce-heavy, she says, "I listen to a lot of rap and R&B. Bluegrass too ... dance music, house. Honestly, I can listen to anything as long as it's not too-too extreme."

As she and the U.S. team look to win their fourth consecutive gold medal at the world championships starting March 31, here's what's on the top of her playlist:

"Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur

"Nights" by Frank Ocean

"Hold Up" by Beyonce

"All Night" by Beyonce

"Odd Look" by Kavinsky feat. The Weeknd
