Farmington Hills’ Megan Keller Follows Olympic Dream

Megan Keller, a rising American star in international ice hockey, will compete for Team USA at the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea. A Farmington Hills resident, Keller, 21, won gold with the US women’s ice hockey team last April at the world championships, with a 3-2 overtime win over Canada. Keller’s father, Greg, told Hometown News that his daughter has dreamed of the Olympics for years.

"I think the best thing I can say is, when you watch your kids live out their life-long dreams, it doesn't get any better," he told Hometown News. "Megan has a stencil above her bed that says, 'Dream until your dreams come true' and that's really been the case with her. She has pursued this dream with a passion and it's been a life-long goal of hers since she was little. We are so happy and proud for her."

Keller, who graduated from North Farmington in 2014, took a year off from Boston College, where she plays on the hockey team, to prepare for the games. The Olympics added women's ice hockey 1998. While team USA took the gold that year, Canada has won top honors in every Olympics since.
