During the historic Olympics in Nagano 1998, where women's hockey was included in the Games program for the first Time, Lisa played for the American team while she was pregnant. However, the athlete did not yet know that she would soon become a mother. She gave birth to her first child (son Alex) in August 1998.

The USA team won gold at this Olympics thanks to the performances of Lisa Brown-Miller, who was a key figure in the development of women's hockey in the 90s. After her career, the athlete became a commentator and coach for a hockey team.

The new Stanley Cup season is expected to have an intense final between strong teams, including the Florida Panthers. It will be an exciting battle on the ice that will be remembered by hockey fans.
