   How to raise a future Olympian
The U.S. and Canada have faced off in the gold medal match for four out of the five Winter Games that occurred since women’s ice hockey became an Olympic sport. Of those four matches, Julie Chu and Caroline Ouellette have played on opposing sides for three of them (Chu for the U.S. and Ouellette for Canada). Talk about a Romeo and Juliet situation. While the two women won’t be playing in the upcoming 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, they have been gearing up to face a new kind of challenge: parenthood.
The couple recently announced that their daughter, Liv Chu-Ouellette, was born on Nov. 5, 2017. One of Ouellette’s former coaches shared the good news on Twitter late last week.
