Calgary Flames prospect Cullen Potter brings mom’s hockey heritage with him
CALGARY — Some say he has his mother’s hands.
Jenny Schmidgall-Potter was among the first women to combine motherhood and elite hockey when she twice gave birth to children and returned to the U.S. women’s team.
The four-time Olympian and a competitor at 10 world championships had daughter Madison in 2001 and son Cullen in 2007.
Cullen Potter was a first-round pick, 32nd overall, in this year’s NHL draft by the Calgary Flames.
