Charlie McAvoy’s injury has got hockey fans shaken up but there’s always a silver lining. What on earth might that be you ask? Well, on the hockey side of things, Team USA have just pulled off a big move: bringing in Quinn Hughes to replace McAvoy. Ask any hockey fan and they will agree that Hughes is a more than apt replacement. But on the personal side of things? The 27-year-old’s wife is giving us all the feels. In the middle of the injury crisis, his wife’s gift is reminding us of everything they’ve been through together and what’s still to come.

Charlie McAvoy’s most tournament hasn’t been perfect: An upper-body injury has ruled McAvoy out from the final, though it didn’t look as serious initially. But after Team USA lost to Sweden 2-1, it was clear McAvoy’s injury was more serious than anyone thought.

Amidst all of this, his wife Kiley McAvoy prepared a sweet tribute that stole the show. On Instagram, she shared a custom jacket collab with @jeaniusjackets captioned: “The Charlie McAvoy Career Journey Jacket. A legacy stitched together. This custom piece honors Charlie McAvoy’s path from Boston University to the world stage, blending the scarlet pride of BU, the bold stars and stripes of Team USA, and the iconic black and gold of the Boston Bruins. Every stitch reflects the moments that have shaped his career so far-the hard-fought battles, the victories, and the unwavering support of @kileymcavoy, who has been there from the start
This piece is more than a jacket, it’s a tribute to his journey–crafted with purpose, designed to be worn with love and pride #JeaniusJackets”

Kiley McAvoy commented saying, “Such a cool piece I will cherish forever! Thanks so much Ben🔥” The jacket isn’t just an outfit—it’s a reflection of their journey together, and it’s clear McAvoy’s got some serious support behind him from Kiley as he recovers.

How did Charlie McAvoy meet his wife?

Charlie and Kiley McAvoy’s relationship has always been powered by hockey. McAvoy was playing for Boston University when they first met, and Kiley was a student there as well. Their shared passion for the sport allowed them to connect immediately, and soon enough Kiley was enjoying the game from the sidelines while McAvoy was busy making his name on the ice.

Theirs was a bond that was forged quickly. Whether McAvoy was riding high after a big win or going through tough times, his partner was always there, a constant source of strength. In August 2024, they got married, officially locking in their forever journey together.

And Kiley McAvoy’s no stranger to the grind of the NHL —she grew up in it. Being a member of a prominent hockey family, aware of the requirements to succeed in the game because being Mike Sullivan‘s daughter comes with that legacy. And in a hilarious twist of fate, McAvoy ended up being coached by his father in law at the 4-Nations Face-Off!

As McAvoy recovers, it’s clear that his wife will be a constant source of support. The jacket commissioned by Kiley McAvoy is not a simple jacket, but a souvenir from their journey together that displays the past they created and the future they are building together.

It is uncertain when Charlie McAvoy will return to the ice, and unfortunately he is now out of the 4-Nations Face-Off. But health is over everything, and McAvoy has all the support he needs. One thing is clear—Kiley McAvoy’s love and support will be the base that gets them through whatever comes next. They are prepared for anything together.
