John Wroblewski, the U.S. Olympic Women's Hockey head coach, is wearing a vintage jacket he bought on eBay with an incredible connection to the team's past

"According to FloHockey, the jacket once belonged to Walter Bush, the former president of USA Hockey. Bush (1929-2016) served as president of USA Hockey from 1986 to 2003 and was its chairman of the board from 2003 to 2016. A key founder of the NHL's Minnesota North Stars, he was instrumental in advancing women's hockey to the Olympics and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2000."

""International hockey wouldn't be what it is today without his impact," Rene Fasel, president of the IIHF, said per USA Hockey. "I doubt women's hockey would be an Olympic sport today had Walter not pushed so hard for it in the mid-90s.""

"So far, the jacket has brought incredible vibes to the team. They are an undefeated 4-0 in their first four outings, outscoring their opponents 20-1. They also handed Canada's Olympic Women's Hockey Team their first shutout loss ever - a 5-0 defeat on Tuesday."
