Monique has had a lifelong passion for ice hockey, and she has played for varsity teams in both high school and college, earning a number of awards along the way.
Salary and Career
Monique played ice hockey in college at the state level, but she didn’t get the chance to represent the United States until she was selected for the United States Women’s Select Team for the 2006 Four Nations Cup, where the team finished second.
The committee chose her and her twin sister because of their talent and dedication. The sisters were members of the United States Women’s National Team, which won the gold medal at the 2009 International Ice Hockey Federation World Women’s Championship.
Monique’s success continued, as she won silver medals in the 2010 and 2012 Olympics, as well as a gold medal in the 2018 Olympics.
Her ice-hockey career has undoubtedly contributed to her enormous net worth. Although the exact amount Monique earns is not disclosed, it is widely assumed that a national ice-hockey player earns an annual salary of $75 thousand.
Relationship Status: Single?
To all the guys who had a crush on Monique, it would be best if you crushed that ‘crush feeling’. Because hearing that Monique is already married may break your heart. Monique is currently married to a handsome man named Anthony Morando.
In fact, the couple married two years ago on May 13, 2016. When the newlywed couple learned that Monique was pregnant, their joy reached new heights.
Monique even shared a photo of herself with her baby bump on October 11, 2018. The most fascinating aspect of Monique’s pregnancy is that her twin sister is also expecting a child.
