UPDATE 07/05/2013: After plenty of patience, waiting and countless nail biting games in the stands, Ines Dominic is now Anze Kopitar’s wife. The two were married in a lavish ceremony in Ljublijana, Slovenia’s Otocec castle. Anze and Ines Kopitar invited family, friends, teammates,… and Kings celebrity super fan, Matthew Perry. Congratulations to the newlyweds. After scoring a game-winning overtime goal in game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals, Anze Kopitar finds himself at the center…
NHL Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
New Jersey Devils Center Travis Zajac comes from a true hockey bloodline. His father played three years of college hockey for the University of Denver, and his three brothers are all currently playing minor league hockey at one level or another. Two of his brothers, Darcy and Kelly play for the Albany Devils in the AHL, and may eventually join Travis with the big league club in New Jersey (I have visions of a present…
While The Great One might be considered one of if not the greatest NHL player of all time I’m going to say his biggest contribution just might be his daughter Paulina Gretzky. I don’t think any of us should be surprised that Wayne Gretzky and his wife Janet Jones (always considered one of the hottest couples in sports) would give us such a gift. As if that wasn’t enough Paulina also appears to be a…
It’s been one hell of a year for Brad Richards, both on and off the ice. On the ice, the Rangers Assistant Captain has helped to bring his team on the cusp of the Stanley Cup Finals. The 12 year pro finished the season with 66 points, and is now charging through the playoffs racking up to date another 14 points. Regardless of the outcome of the Richards and the Rangers playoff hopes, one might…

I’d like to think I’m a big hockey guy but I had no clue who Brandon was until researching the wives and girlfriends of the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Looking at his stats I can see why I had no clue who he was…
We’d like to issue an apology to all seven of our longtime readers, as well as Zach Parise’s wife Alisha Parise. We’ve neglected Hockey WAGS for far too long. It hasn’t been for lack of interest, and it certainly hasn’t been for lack of information or quality content. There’s no reasonable excuse for it outside our general gaps in hockey knowledge, and for that, we apologize. We ran a quick post years ago about Zach…
So, we may have stumbled upon an odd trend amongst hockey players: marrying real close to their family Recently we chronicled Martin Brodeur’s marriage to his ex-wife’s brother’s ex-wife (there’s got to be an easier way to say that). Now we’ve learned that Phoenix Coyotes’ defenseman Keith Yandle married his brother’s wife’s sister… And that wasn’t by coincidence In an odd interview, which you can see on the right, Yandle straight up admitted that he…
