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

My rib told me the bloody mouth lad was Jewish

I was like “Hughes”?

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

Indeed; She was a cut little angel. Today, if a precocious pre-teen said she wanted to be pro hockey player and played with boys they would probably fast track her for trans surgery.

Wise Mom to not allow the miscreants to steal their Joy! I am grateful for them allowing all of us to share this moment of joy with them.
