The Hughes Skatefamily. Does Amy herself have a competitive backround?

[FSWer]

Hi fokes!!!!! I can't get on FSU. or even post on the Emily Hughes or Kimmie Meissner Boards. As they all don't seem to be working. (I miss them) So I'm posting this here. But we all know that Sarah and Emily both skate,and came from a Skating Family. In which we also know their brother played Hockey. But does anyone know is Mrs. Amy Hughes ever had a backround as a competitive skater..herself? I''m not sure if I've asked this before or not. Thanks.

According to Sarah's Wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Hughes

"Her father, John Hughes, was captain of the NCAA Champion 1969-70 Cornell University Ice Hockey team, which is the only NCAA Hockey team in history to finish unbeaten at 29-0-0."

It would be nice to think that the mom was an aspiring Olympic-level skater, but it does not seem so:

"Amy Pasternack was a Cornell junior from Long Island when her future husband was skating for the Big Red and working his miracles in Lynah Rink.

College campuses from 1967-70 were overcome with the roar of revolution, and Cornell was on the front lines. But Amy got into a crowd that lived and died with Cornell hockey and likened Dryden to royalty. Hockey provided a respite from the turmoil, on campus and off.

They met—the sandy-haired, boyish hockey player from Canada and the effervescent coed with the New York accent from Long Island. And they married, blending Canada and America into a partnership.

College graduates, smart and talented, respectful of the value of education, blue chip all the way, they started their own little hockey team.

John became a prominent tax and real estate attorney in New York. Amy was a certified public accountant. Their first child, Rebecca, was born in 1977 and went on to study at Harvard and become editor of the weekly Independent. Sarah was born in 1985."
