Is There A Father Son Possibility in the NHL?

[IafrateOvie34]

The last I remember was David Roberts playing against his uncle Gordie back in the early to mid 1990s.

 

[Terry Yake]

maroon's son just got drafted into the OHL recently. i think that's the best chance we have

 

[SI90]

Didnt Gordie Howe play with both his sons?

 

[ColbyChaos]

With Lebron James slated to play with his son Bronny, in the NHL we've already had the Howes play together for a year, are there any current NHL players with prospect sons?

It already happened lol

19 year olds aren’t having sex anymore???

Actually, I believe the Gen Z generation is having less intimacy than any other generation preceding it. So, they are... just not as much.

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

Not intentionally.....

Given the demographic ranges that exist in both leagues, I believe he’s actually right. Mid-upper class white people do statistically have fewer kids than minorities, and when they do, it’s at an older age on average.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Bronny shouldn't even be an NBA player and was only drafted because of who his dad is.

Nepotism at it's worst. Obviously superstars in any league have influence on management, but the fact that Bronny even got drafted is a slap in the face to other kids who worked hard and produced more than he did. At best, he was an invite to camp. Dude demanded a 1-way contact. Wouldn't even take a deal where he'd work on his craft in the D-league. Reeks of entitlement.

It's kind of a shame Theo Fleury couldn't play with this kid Marc-Andre.

They missed by 2 years.

Literally none of this is true.

The lengths people go to hate Lebron James is never not hilarious.

It's absolutely true, not my fault you're drinking the kool-aid.

Bronny James was a highly scouted prospect as far back as his freshman year in high school. He was a projected one and done first round pick before the heart issue, which fairly damaged his draft stock in conjunction with a pedestrian year at USC. The 2024 NBA draft was one of the weakest in recent memory, and he was projected to go around where he did by most major scouting services.

Whether or not he turns into anything more than a G league role player is anyone’s guess. The contract he just signed was almost identical to the 57 and 58 overall picks in 2023 (Jackson-Davis and Livingston) who both posted similar statistics and pedigree before being drafted. So there goes that bullshit narrative.

Talk about drinking kool aid all you want, champ. What you really need to do is drink some coffee and wake the f*** up, because you clearly have no clue what you’re talking about.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to not think he isn't a nepo baby. He is where he is because of his father.

On the paper it's possible... However there are so many conditions to be met, that I don't expect it happen in near future...

 

[Reality Czech]

Can we consider Matthew Tkachuk to be Evander Kane's daddy?

The demographics of the players tend to have less teen pregnancies.

If Crosby had got married and had kids when he was in his early 20s like a lot of other NHLers tend to do, he could have played with his son as I believe he'll be playing into his 40s. But him not getting married and having kids young probably contributed to him being able to play at this high of a level for so young, so I guess we'll never know.

Likewise with Ovy, hes still going strong at his age and had he had a kid in his rookie year, he could potentially be playing with him already.
