Caroline Rose Harvey (born October 14, 2002) is an American college ice hockey defenceman for Wisconsin and member of the United States women's national ice hockey team. Widely regarded as one of the best defensemen in the world, Harvey was named Best Defenseman at the 2023 and 2025 World Championships, becoming only the second defenseman in history to lead the United States in points at an Olympics or World Championship.
Harvey made her Olympic debut at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing at age 19, winning a silver medal as the youngest player on Team USA's roster. Internationally, she has won two World Championship gold medals (2023, 2025) and three silver medals (2021, 2022, 2024), and has been selected to three World Championship All-Star teams. At the 2023 World Championship, she led the tournament in scoring with 14 points and was the first skater to lead the United States in both points and ice time at a major tournament.
At Wisconsin, Harvey is a two-time NCAA national champion (2023, 2025) and has set numerous program records for defensemen. In her junior season (2024–25), she recorded 63 points—the most by a defenseman in a single season in Wisconsin history—and became the program's all-time leading scorer among defensemen with 137 career points. Harvey has been named WCHA Defender of the Year twice (2024, 2025) and was a Top-3 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award in 2025. She was named team co-captain for the 2024–25 season alongside Casey O'Brien.
