None of the team had played professional hockey before the Olympics, the US allowed only amateurs to compete. After the Olympics 13 of the 20 players played in the NHL. Some of them of them started the following season. They played many seasons including three who played over 1,000 NHL games.

Keith Tkachuk is best known for being a professional ice hockey player. He is now retired but is one of only 4 US ice hockey players to score 500 goals.
There are currently no professional women's hockey players in North America. The women playing in the Canadian Women's Hockey League and the Western Women's Hockey League are not compensated at all to play. In fact, many of them actually have to pay to play. There are a large number of members of the Canadian and US women's national teams playing in these leagues and they are paid to train by their respective national associations as "carded" athletes. However, the amount they are paid ranges in between $1000-$2000 per month, hardly a "pro" level contract. There are professional women's hockey leagues in Europe and Russia. Their compensation is not known, but the North American players who play there are paid relatively well, although again, not anywhere close to the level of the men's pro players.
