Ellen Weinberg Hughes is the mother to two of the heroes of the American Men's Olympic team. She was also a consultant to the women's Hockey Olympic team as she is a skilled hockey player in her own right. Here is a video of her playing with the boy's league when she was 12 years old.

What an awesome little time capsule. Little did she know she may never make the pros herself, but all three of her sons would and two would be gold medal winners

Mama Weinberg

Southern Jews were much like us except odd church hours

Except the moms

More dominant in the home than ulster Scot/saxon southern historical moms

Mrs Shulmeister lol

If she ran down to the headmaster’s office over her sons malfeasance at school he was fearful for sure
