Julie Chu – 39 – Ice Hockey Coach

Julie Chu is one of the most decorated athletes in the history of American sports. Throughout her career, she has made a name for herself on the ice rink. The United States women’s ice hockey team forward has skated her way to winning four Olympic medals. She not only earned her college degree from Harvard but as well as the Patty Kazmaier Award. Outside of her playing career, Chu offered her athletic skills to the University of Minnesota Duluth Women’s Hockey Team as an assistant coach. In 2016, Concordia University announced her appointment as head coach of their women’s hockey team.

Hockey played a big part in Chu’s life. It even led her to find true love in her former teammate/rival Caroline Ouellette. The two tied the knot after dating since 2005. Chu and Ouellette welcomed their first child Liv in November of 2017. Their second daughter Tessa was born three years later in May 2020.
