Green Beret veteran returns to civilian life as a UNC club hockey player
Posted Feb 14, 2024
Throughout UNC’s club hockey season, a camo helmet with flashes of gold can be seen moving in and out of the goal. Under the mask is Joel Hughes, an Army veteran and junior at UNC. Hughes enlisted in the Army out of high school, following the 9/11 terrorist attack. Now 39, he’s earning his college degree, playing hockey, and running a household.
