Here’s another good example of a player wife just entering motherhood and loving almost every minute of it. Andrew Desjardins’ wife Mandy Desjardins just recently had their son Ames in January. Major props to both Andrew and Mandy for taking their pro pregnant pictures without taking their shirts off and posing weirdly. Instead, they chose to go to some beach and just be semi-normal– posing with a goat on the sand. I’ll take a goat…
NHL Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
Andrew Cogliano’s girlfriend Allie Bertram is not hard to find on the internet. She’s an actor, and she gets a lot of work. We’re going to go ahead and classify her as a “successful actor” because it’s a small triumph when an actor can get work as consistently as she has. I guess I’ll talk a little about what she’s done so far. Her first appearance on television was for the Canadian version of So…
Jakob Silfverberg’s girlfriend Clara Welin Brook moved to the United States in 2012 for the purposes of hockey watching. This is common among pro hockey players’ girlfriends if they’re trying to move up the ranks, and Jakob spent ​some time in the AHL before the big show. In a Swedish sports piece, the writer described her sitting in the stands and yelling “Yeah baby!” Clara is originally from Gavle in Sweden. It’s the capital of…
Those Czechs can get very blonde. Ondrej Palat’s girlfriend Barbora Bartikova is a near-platinum natural blonde with pretty eyes. She’s almost always wearing a big smile too, which makes her very photogenic. She travels everywhere with Ondrej from what I can tell. I’ve seen pictures of her at all sorts of social gatherings revolving around hockey, from the players’ lounge to the Winter Olympics. Another one of those fancy get-togethers that Ondrej Palat’s girlfriend was…
About a year ago we told you about the sad tale of Dominic Moore’s wife Katie Moore. She passed away in January of 2013 after battling cancer. She was a beautiful and brilliant young woman who was an aspiring novelist. Well, now Dominic has a new someone. Dominic Moore’s girlfriend Mary Hirst actually works for the Katie Moore as the Foundation Coordinator. She graduated from Harvard the same year that Katie (also a Harvard grad)…
Jesper Fast’s girlfriend Amanda Lindberg described herself in Swedish as a “social and happy girl who has fallen in love with the Greek islands.” Back in 2011 (probably before she ever met Jesper), this was how she described herself on some kind of backpacking website she had joined to organize and meet up with other backpackers on a Greek island. Being a non-Swedish speaker, it’s a little tough to get the gyst of what she…
Well, looks like it’s time for another edition of Pro Athlete Wedding Review. Up today on the menu are the Glasses. I’d say it’s not the greatest last name for a family: The Glass family a.k.a. The Glasses, but you can’t just make it up yourself (otherwise they’d have picked the Steel Family or something cool). Tanner Glass’s wife Emily Glass married the fella’ back in 2011. I watched their highly produced wedding video, and…
