Hockey siblings aren’t always brothers
Was waiting to finish the Syracuse University Orange at Boston College Eagles 10/9/09 full gallery to post the Motherwells. BC has had a lot of brothers follow each other to the Heights, but they aren’t limited to brother pairs. Senior forward and alternate captain Matt Lombardi followed his sister Michelle (2003-07) to BC (unfortunately never shot her)
and this year Ashley Motherwell has followed her brother Brett (2005-08).
While preparing my Syracuse roster for photo captions, I noticed a few familiar names. Syracuse also has a sister following her brother onto the ice with Kelly Dimmen whose brother Jeff plays defense (and wears the A) for the University of Maine Black Bears. (Naturally I started this post before I finished editing and didn’t realize that Kelly Dimmen did not play in the game - oops.)
Syracuse also has a pair of twins on the team, freshman forwards Isabel and Talia Menard.
The Menards aren’t the only twins on the Syracuse roster, forward Stefanie Marty is the twin sister of Northeastern’s Julia Marty (earlier blog gallery). Stefanie has also played for Switzerland.
Finally, another familiar looking name sent me to Google where I discovered that Keeta Koalska is the second cousin of former Minnesota Golden Gopher Matt Koalska, not a sister.
