After years of orchestrating some of the biggest triumphs in American women’s hockey, Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson and Monique Lamoureux-Morando announced their retirements Tuesday.
The Lamoureuxs, who scored the decisive goals in the gold medal game of the 2018 Olympics, originally intended to help the United States defend its title at the 2022 Games in Beijing.
In an interview this month, the Lamoureux twins, 31, said they had prioritized spending time with their families and cited the loss of three elderly relatives in recent years and the coronavirus pandemic as factors in their decisions. Both sisters became mothers within the past two years, and Lamoureux-Morando is expecting another child in a few weeks.
