This time, when Caitlin Cahow walks out for the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics, she knows her mother will be watching.

A star-struck Olympic rookie in 2006 in Torino, the Branford, Conn., native and former Harvard standout is a now a leader and key defenseman on a U.S. team that heads to Vancouver this month trying to win its first gold medal since 1998.

Cahow’s father, renowned Yale professor of surgery Dr. Elton Cahow, died when she was 12, and she is especially close to her mother, Dr. Barbara Kinder, who would shuttle her around to practices and games with the Southern Connecticut Stars and Yale Youth Hockey when she was growing up, and later to Hotchkiss School.
