So I really hope that #EllenHughes contract is done and does not come up for reconsideration in any women’s sports, because she has displayed, very publicly, that the safety of the women’s hockey team is not her priority.

Screenshot of an article from The Athlete two weeks ago. Article headline reads “ she raised three NHL stars. Now Ellen Hughes hopes to help the US women’s hockey team win gold” The picture is an image of Ellen Hughes posed in face-off position wearing her hockey equipment from when she was the assistant captain for the USA women’s Olympic hockey team. Behind her is black-and-white photographs of her and her husband, and three sons. The photograph caption reads” Ellen Hughes, mother to Quinn, Jack and Luke Hughes is a player developmental consultant working with the American women’s team hoping to capture gold at the Olympics in Milan.”

Yeah, I’m gonna address that right now.
#EllenHughes, mother of two players on the men’s US hockey team.
Same woman who is the player developmental consultant for the US women’s hockey team.
Releases the most poorly written PR non-apology, that is a backhanded slap to the women’s team.

The fact that the players doubled down.
That all but five accepted the invitation.
And that #EllenHughes agreed to do that offensive release on behalf of her sons.

I cannot believe it’s 2026 & we still have apologists laughing at the digs a sexist/sexual predator/pedophile takes at women. #ellenhughes #jackhughes #NHL #potus #apologist #complicit #maga #gross #joke
