If you’re compiling a list of newly financially-secured girlfriends in the NHL, Victor Hedman’s girlfriend Sanna Grundberg would appear somewhere on it. We’re talking, of course, about Victor’s $20,000,000 contract extension from 2011. That’s smile-making money right there. There was a short article about it in the Tampa Bay TImes involving how happy he and Sanna were bacj when it happened. They’re still reaping the benefits from it. Sanna is a Swede just like Hedman….
Here’s another good example of a player wife just entering motherhood and loving almost every minute of it. Andrew Desjardins’ wife Mandy Desjardins just recently had their son Ames in January. Major props to both Andrew and Mandy for taking their pro pregnant pictures without taking their shirts off and posing weirdly. Instead, they chose to go to some beach and just be semi-normal– posing with a goat on the sand. I’ll take a goat…
Andrew Cogliano’s girlfriend Allie Bertram is not hard to find on the internet. She’s an actor, and she gets a lot of work. We’re going to go ahead and classify her as a “successful actor” because it’s a small triumph when an actor can get work as consistently as she has. I guess I’ll talk a little about what she’s done so far. Her first appearance on television was for the Canadian version of So…
Prince Shembo’s ex-girlfriend Denicia Williams broke up with him immediately after her dog Dior died, having been kicked to death by Shembo. Look, we here at PlayerWives don’t like to play the judge and be all morally superior to a person that makes a mistake, and a Yorkie isn’t our dog breed of choice,…. but good lord man– you don’t kick a dog– it’s just not something you do. Dave Mustaine got thrown out of…
Jakob Silfverberg’s girlfriend Clara Welin Brook moved to the United States in 2012 for the purposes of hockey watching. This is common among pro hockey players’ girlfriends if they’re trying to move up the ranks, and Jakob spent some time in the AHL before the big show. In a Swedish sports piece, the writer described her sitting in the stands and yelling “Yeah baby!” Clara is originally from Gavle in Sweden. It’s the capital of…
Those Czechs can get very blonde. Ondrej Palat’s girlfriend Barbora Bartikova is a near-platinum natural blonde with pretty eyes. She’s almost always wearing a big smile too, which makes her very photogenic. She travels everywhere with Ondrej from what I can tell. I’ve seen pictures of her at all sorts of social gatherings revolving around hockey, from the players’ lounge to the Winter Olympics. Another one of those fancy get-togethers that Ondrej Palat’s girlfriend was…
Chuck Blazer’s girlfriend Mary Lynn Blanks is a former soap opera star from the shows “All My Children” and “As The World Turns.” She appeared in the 1980’s, and for a woman born in 1952, she looks great now. She can be seen in a lot of the photographs Chuck posted to his blog which, by the way, is pretty incredible. This guy has had himself an amazing life. But I’m going to do my…
