"#WeinbergHughes, 56, has not one but two sons on that winning team. Her oldest son, #QuinnHughes, a defender for the #MinnesotaWild, played alongside brother Jack. And Weinberg-Hughes was also on the coaching staff of the #US women’s #hockey team as a Player Development Consultant. That team won gold the day before the men’s team did, making Ellen, technically, the first of the Hughes family to win #OlympicGold.
Weinberg-Hughes was raised #Jewish in #StLouis, #Missouri and #Dallas, #Texas. Her father was a doctor who helped advocate for kids’ with learning disabilities. Her brother, award-winning sociologist and president of #DenisonUniversity #AdamWeinberg, shared that growing up in the South, their family experienced “discrimination because of their faith and culture.”
Ellen has had a long and storied career in hockey. It all started when Adam started playing the game."
