Potomaks want to make Winter Olympics a family affair
CALGARY — With two daughters trying out for Canada’s Olympic women’s hockey team, Steve and Jane Potomak are prepared for joy, tears or perhaps both.
Sarah, 19, and Amy, 18, would be the first sisters to play hockey for Canada at an Olympic Games should they earn a spot on the 23-player roster for Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The siblings from Aldergrove, B.C., are the two youngest among 28 battling for jobs in Calgary over the next several weeks until the team is named in December or January.
The best-case scenario for the Potomak clan is Amy and Sarah both wear the Maple Leaf in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Neither making the team equals double disappointment.
