The newly acquired Utah Hockey Club forward was spotted at his wedding reception with a club-branded hat.
The summer is where a lot of things can happen for NHL players, especially marriage.
Some notable names to tie the knot this off-season include New York Rangers defenceman Adam Fox, Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher, and Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid (who is fresh off winning the Conn Smythe Trophy).
You can add Utah HC forward Egor Sokolov to that list; the prospect was acquired via trade with Ottawa at the beginning of the month.
After being signed to a one-year, two-way deal six days after the trade, the Russian celebrated in the only way he knew how to:
He wore a Utah Hockey Club hat to his own wedding reception -- his wedding that happened to be the same day he signed with the club.
Talk about a wedding gift to remember.
I think you can tell the young man is just a little excited to be in his new surroundings come training camp.
He'll be joining a deep group of young forwards that will be looking to make the opening night roster, including 2024 first-round picks Cole Beaudoin and Tij Iginla.
