Take it to the ice! When the temperatures start to cool down, there’s one sport celebrity fans can’t get enough of: hockey!
Stars included Carrie Underwood and Bachelor Nation’s Emily Ferguson have a special connection to the sport because their significant others are professional hockey players.
The Grammy winner has rooted for her man, Mike Fisherthroughout his career, which began in 1999. After the couple tied the knot in 2010, Underwood became a staple of his matches, especially when he was traded to the Nashville Predators in 2011.
“Captain @mfisher1212 I’m definitely going to miss seeing you play and cheer you on with the rest of Smashville, but I’m so looking forward to seeing what God has in store for you in this next chapter of your life, the american idol alum wrote via Instagram in August 2017 after Fisher announced his retirement.
However, the Canadian native returned to the ice in January 2018 to help the Preds to the Stanley Cup. Four months later, he officially left the NHL.
“You’ve given your teammates and the game your all for so many years…you’ve worked so hard and made us all so proud!” Underwood gushed in honor of Fisher’s last game.
Ferguson sang praises for her then-fiancée, William Karelssonahead of his 2019 season with the Las Vegas Knights.
“Hockey is back 🏒 Love watching the love and passion these guys have for this sport,” she captioned an Instagram snap hugging her husband in the arena in October of that year. “Their hard work and dedication will always be rewarded. Praying for a great hockey season and especially the health and happiness of all these players and their families❤️.” (The couple tied the knot in July 2022.)
Kristin Cavallarifor her part, has always been a fan of the grueling game and shared her love of the sport with her “little hockey fans” in October 2021. The laguna beach alum, who shares sons Camden and Jaxon and daughter Saylor with an estranged husband Jay Cutlercaptured the family outing via her Instagram Story at the time.
“Growing up watching hockey games are some of my favorite memories,” she captioned a photo of her kids looking up at the Nashville team’s mascot. “Really grateful and happy that I can share and experience that with my children.”
