Over 30, current & former NHLers with no kids

[Dallas Winston]

Jagr is a sad case for sure

 

[Calderon]

it never gets talked about, but it would be interesting if there was a study on the all time greats, when they became dads, and the places in their careers where they slip to a lower level, big or small.

Decent level of interest yes but if it did show that having kids directly lessened one's athletic output that'd just be unnecessary fuel for anti-natalists.

Some people just don't want kids, nothing sad about that.

I'm 39 and never married, no kids.
Every relationship I've been in I became miserable and not myself.
I can live my life the way it seems fit, no outside interference.

Nordics tend to get settled and have kids later than Americans. I notice there are very few Swedish and Finnish players under 30 with kids.

Mike Commodore, the rockstar himself, also no kids.

And I'm sure it's Mike Babcock's fault, somehow.

It's fine for a thread.

If you aren't interested, you aren't required to participate.

This would be a really interesting NBA thread...right?

Hey, if I could reasonably determine what was objectively interesting, I probably wouldn’t be a Kraken fan.

Could be worse my boss is an open Leafs fan, he gets ribbed every spring.

I always found it interesting that Trevor Linden didn't have any children until 2017 (when he was 47). He got married in 1995, and was known for his charitable work during his career (especially with Canuck Place, a hospice for children), so it seems late to do so (though I'm sure he had reasons).
