Caitlin Cahow

Caitlin Cahow is a major achiever in the field of women's ice hockey. She's represented the USA at the Winter Olympics in both 2006 and 2010, as well as four different World Championships, winning three of them. Although she's still only 33, her professional career came to an end very early, having stopped playing at a professional level in 2011. The peak of her career was probably 2008, when she won the USA Hockey Women's Player of the Year award.

Cahow has been openly gay for her whole career and is another gay-and-proud athlete who made a statement at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia. She was specifically chosen by serving President Barack Obama to be part of the US delegation to those games. Since retiring from the sport, she's qualified as an attorney and now works for the international law company Jones Day in Chicago, where she lives.
