Julie Chu and Caroline Ouellete, who combined for eight Olympic hockey medals on opposite sides of a heated rivalry, welcomed a baby girl on Sunday.
Ouellette’s coach during her college career at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Shannon Miller, tweeted an image Thursday of Chu and Ouellette with Liv Chu-Ouellette.
Its authenticity was confirmed Friday.
Chu and Ouellette were headline players on one of the most contentious national-team rivalries over the last two decades.
The U.S. and Canada have met in all 18 world championship finals and four of the five Olympic finals.
