Women's hockey has been in the Olympics for almost 30 years, so you'd think it would have happened at some point already.

I was going to say Cammi Granato, but apparently Landon Ferraro is her adopted son.
Ovechkin's mother won 2 Olympic gold medals in women's basketball.
Ellen Weinberg-Hughes likely would have been an Olympian but retired before Nagano when Women's Hockey was first introduced as an Olympic sport. She was an all-star for the 1992 USA Women's World Championship team.
So the Potters might be the first to do so, which is pretty cool.
