Two Olympic rivals just got married this past weekend.
Meghan Duggan, who was the captain of the U.S. Olympic women’s hockey team at Pyeonchang, married Gillian Apps, who was the captain of Canada’s women’s hockey team until she retired in 2015.
Duggan’s team got the gold at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The two faced off at the Winter Olympics at the 2010 and 2014 Olympics, where the US came in second place to Canada both times.
