Who doesn’t love a little inside scoop on their favorite players—both on the ice and off? When it comes to the Boston Bruins’ captain, Brad Marchand, the guy sure knows how to keep things interesting. Over in the 4 Nations Face-Off, Team Canada kicked things off in style, snagging a thrilling 4-3 overtime win against Sweden at the Bell Centre. The Bruins’ star scored a pretty first-period goal with the help of Tampa Bay’s Brayden Point, who left him all alone in front of the net. Meanwhile, back in the NHL, the Bruins are in a bit of a pickle.

With the trade deadline fast approaching, this is one time that selling could well be the best option. Currently occupying the last wild card position, Boston is barely alive when it comes to playoffs, with MoneyPuck offering them only 14.9% chance. If things don’t turn around, the team might have to shake things up before the March 7 deadline. And that raises a big question—what about Marchand? The Bruins’ captain, a franchise legend and probable future Hall of Famer, is set to hit free agency this offseason. Could this be the end of his Boston era? Only time will tell. But hey, enough about the hockey side of things—let’s dive into Brad Marchand’s personal life and see what’s up off the ice!

Brad Marchand’s forever valentine!

When Brad Marchand isn’t out there breaking ankles on the ice, he’s kicking back at home, soaking up every moment with his family. And if you are wondering who that includes, let’s name the wife of the Bruins’ captain–Katrina Marchand (née Sloane). They have been together for quite some time now; they began dating in 2010 and got engaged in September 2015. Katrina is not only Brad’s biggest fan, but she is also an interior designer and an entrepreneur who owns a clothing line called March & Mill Co. She already has more than 23K followers on Instagram, so she has her own audience that will always be behind her.

The details of how these two first crossed path are still a mystery but what cannot be doubted is that these two have been hardworking, progressive and motivating partners to each other for the last decade. Of the 2020 Instagram posts, the one that stood out was where Katrina explained love, support, and the feeling of being with the right person. “There’s a sense of calm and something so beautiful about knowing you’ve found the perfect person,” she pointed out that even if one has all the time in the world, it seems like it is insufficient.

She continued to express her appreciation of Brad for dedication not only in his marriage and as a father but in all aspects of his life. “Every bit of the way making it look easy, and only wanting to make us proud in return,” she gushed. And with a love that has survived a lot, she is convinced—she is even more waiting for the future. “I honestly can’t wait for what’s yet to come… You’re always making the three of us proud.” That is a love story that deserves a standing ovation. And speaking of fatherhood, you bet Brad Marchand and his wife also have mini me’s!

The Marchands and their mini-me(s)!

Brad Marchand is a professional hockey player who is as good on the field as he is off the field, especially when it comes to being a father. He and his wife Katrina have built a beautiful little squad together, with daughters Sawyer born in 2017 and Rue in 2022. But the love for the family does not end here, Marchand also took up the responsibility of a step father to Katrina’s son, Sloane, from her past relation. And if one needs more proofs that the Marchands know how to make every single second count for some fun time, then perhaps the spirit of this family celebration can give one all the proof that one may require.

Just before Christmas, Katrina shared an adorable video of all five of them celebrating the holiday season together—ice skating, smiling, and soaking up the magic. “Merry Christmas from our family to yours ❤️ A little family fun in Charlestown at @bostonswinterfest 🎅🏼,” she captioned the post. The Boston Bruins even dedicated the limelight to the Marchand crew in February 2024 when Brad Marchand reached his 1,000th NHL game. One thing is clear though, when it comes to scoring goals on the field and setting couple goals in life, Marchand fits all the roles with passion.
