Oilers' Zach Hyman has life changing personal announcement
Yesterday afternoon, Zach Hyman announced that he and his wife Allannah are expecting their third child.
The news was casually dropped in a Sportsnet special filmed earlier this week. Anchor Christine Simpson prompted Hyman about his personal growth to a father of three and a star player in the NHL, to which Hyman gave a fantastic answer showing his pure focus and determination to hockey - an attitude shared by his entire family.
»When you're in the moment it's hard to reflect back, because you're always like, what's next? For us, obviously it's winning the Stanley Cup. My parents, my uncles, my brothers, my wife, everybody's on this journey with you and they sacrifice so much for you as the athlete. It just means so much, when we all win together, that'll be a pretty special moment.
-Zach Hyman
It's incredible news for the Hyman family to see them expect their third child, and it's a wonderful story to see the high school sweetheart couple grow to have so much success. It's also heartwarming to see Hyman speak about the sacrifice his family puts in for him to play hockey as a career, and how when they win, they'll all win together.
With his family behind him, it's no wonder Hyman has the motivation to be the hard worker Oilers fans know him to be. After his incredible 54 goal season, he's been an instrumental player in the Oilers layoffs so far, scoring an incredible 6 goals and 7 points in the first three games. Hyman is the exact type of player you can win a Stanley Cup with, and he's fully determined to bring it back to Edmonton.
