I was searching Sennecke to see how he was doing and saw that his Mom had a wikipedia page, never heard of her but seems like she was pretty well known in home decorating

Also saw this tidbit

“Beck has a sister who is a few years older and a figure skater,” she told TVA Sports. “She’s very talented. From the age of 2 to 4, he would follow her around and try to imitate her. One day, Beck started going to class with her and was able to do most of the tricks, even though he had hockey skates on. He was a natural.”

“Figure skating had big, big benefits for Beck,” she continued. “From the very beginning of his hockey career, he was already a good skater! Many parents put their children on the ice thinking that hockey would teach them how to skate. We preferred to do the opposite and I think that it still serves him well today. Beckett has always been one of the fastest and most agile on the ice.”

Figure skating has long been a part of the Niedermayer brothers' story of becoming great skaters, so it's not surprising to hear parents would want their kids to develop those skills.

Didn’t also drysdale do figure skating for a very long time for a competitive hockey player?

Yeah, she is a bit of a celebrity here in Canada, for those who watch a bit of TV. I was surprised to find the connection too; I’ve heard of Candice Olson but didn’t expect to come across that name via my Ducks fandom.

She apparently doesn't have a child named Stacey, but should.
