- Twin sisters Monique Lamoureux-Morando and Jocelyn Lamoureux-Davidson helped the U.S. women's hockey team win gold over Canada at the Winter Olympics.
- Four months ago, the two sisters did not play in a tournament, and with the team needing to make cuts, some thought they might not make the team.
- Instead, both made the Olympics and played crucial roles in the gold-medal game, scoring the game-tying and game-winning goals, respectively.

According to Zaccardi, it's unclear if the two sisters will return to the team for the 2022 Olympics. In the meantime, they've left the team in better shape than when they joined — the team boycott in 2017 successfully earned them equal pay and maternity leave, and the Lamoureuxs reportedly plan on starting families. They also now leave the team with its first gold medal since 1998.
