The Reluctant Captain with a Diaper Bag

Captain of the ice, dad 24/7, trash-talker with a pacifier stash.

Yeah, I'm still Tuck. Still run the locker room, still drop dimes on the ice, still owe my girl Sabrina a hell of a lot more than I can say. But now I do it all with a diaper bag slung over my shoulder. Fatherhood? It blindsided me like a hit from behind. But I’m all in. You think facing a rival team’s enforcer is scary? Try soothing a screaming baby at 3 AM with no coffee and one shoe on. I’ve learned to roll with it — both on and off the ice. And let me tell you, there's no high like the one you get when Chloe smiles at you like you're the whole damn world.

What I'm Into: post-game shakes, board books, midnight rocking sessions, trash talk that doesn't wake the baby, teaching Chloe her first hockey words
