dailyloe.com – Jenn Weir, a bartender and manager in Massachusetts, watched her son Matt Boldy win Olympic gold before returning to her regular jobs. Weir traveled to Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics to see Boldy play for Team USA. She was away for 20 days, seeing her son briefly each night. Her journey included an unexpected stop in Miami with the team before a frantic search for a flight home.
Weir works three jobs, including at the Catman Café in Mansfield. She has worked at the Catman Café for 29 years. Weir joked that she comes with the building, now under its third owner. The bar became a hub for Team USA watch parties during the Olympics.
Patrons celebrated Team USA’s accomplishments and Matt Boldy’s performance. Boldy scored a highlight-reel goal in the USA-Canada final. The United States won the gold medal in that game. The bar’s TVs are now tuned to Minnesota Wild playoff games.
The Catman Café displays memorabilia from Boldy’s career. A Matt Boldy stick and a Minnesota Wild jersey are on the wall. A Hawaiian lei is wrapped around the jersey’s frame. Weir remains a fixture behind the bar.
The Minnesota Wild are currently tied in their Western Conference playoff series. The team is fighting a narrative about overcoming challenges. This parallels Team USA’s own story at the Olympics. The regulars at Catman Café continue to follow Boldy’s exploits.
