It was an exciting day at practice for the Anaheim Ducks, as U.S. Olympic silver medalist Hilary Knight took to the ice to practice with the team.

Here she is playing some keep away with forward Emerson Etem.

She also participated in a shootout drill and earned high praise from head coach Bruce Boudreau.

Ducks defenseman Ben Lovejoy, who grew up with Knight in New Hampshire, added, "She was snapping shots and played well. She's the best in the world."

"I'm one of those women who just like to push boundaries," Knight said of the experience.
