Meet the Ice Queens Behind the NHL’s Biggest Stars

Relationships often take a lot of work to get them to a good place. Athletes often travel around yet still manage to build happy marriages with their wives. In this article, we take a look at the beautiful wives of some of our favorite NHL players.

Elisha Cuthbert – Dion Phaneuf

You may recognize Elisha Cuthbert from her role in Fox’s 24 or from the teen comedy, The Girl Next Door. Hailing from Canada, Elisha met her future husband and fellow Canadian, Dion Phaneuf, in 2008 before getting hitched in 2013.

Nicole Arruda – Drew Doughty

Hockey players have managed to find the most success in staying with their highschool sweethearts. Alternate captain for the Los Angeles Kings, Drew Doughty met his now-wife — Nicole Arruda — in high school and managed to overcome all the difficulties life threw their way.

Despite spending most of their time in LA due to Drew’s job, their Canadian roots drew them home for their wedding. Doughty credits his wife for making fatherhood feel easy and making defeats seem like wins when he comes home. The couple has two children, a three-year-old as well as a one-year-old.

Erin Andrews – Jarret Stoll

What happens when you start to fall for one of the people you’re covering for your job? That was the exact situation ESPN sportscaster, Erin Andrews, found herself in when she started dating Jarret Stoll — former Los Angeles King and New York Rangers NHL player.

Erin Andrews started as a correspondent before joining ESPN full time in 2004. She later moved to Fox Sports in 2012 and has become the lead sideline reporter for Fox’s NFL broadcasting team. In 2010, she placed third in ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Stoll and Andrews got engaged in 2016 and were married in 2017.

Carrie Underwood – Mike Fisher

Carrie Underwood is one of the best-known artists of all time, and it’s sometimes easy to forget that she’s married to Mike Fisher, the former player of Ottawa Senators and Nashville Predators. Underwood first found fame on the singing competition reality show, American Idol, after she won the 2005 series.

Underwood and Fisher first met after Underwood’s bassist, Mark Childers, arranged for the hockey stud to come backstage during one of Carrie’s meet-and-greets. In December 2009, they got engaged and married eight months later. The couple has two sons, Isaiah Michael Fisher and Jacob Bryan Fisher, and their marriage is stronger than ever!
