The National Hockey League (NHL) has seen a new golden age of brotherly love in recent years, with 20 sets of siblings playing in the league at the same time. It’s an impressive feat that hasn’t been seen since the days of the Howe family, when Gordie, Mark, and Marty all played in the NHL.
The most recent set of siblings to join the NHL are Ryan and Dylan Strome, who were both drafted by the Arizona Coyotes in 2015. Other notable sets of siblings include the Staal brothers, Eric, Jordan, and Marc, who were all drafted in the first round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. The Sutter brothers, Brent, Duane, Rich, and Ron, are also well-known in hockey circles.
The brotherly love doesn’t stop there. The Sedin twins, Daniel and Henrik, have been playing together since 2000 and have won two Art Ross trophies and one Hart Memorial Trophy between them. The Subban brothers, P.K. and Malcolm, have also made a name for themselves in the NHL.
It’s an exciting time for hockey fans as more and more sets of siblings join the NHL. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of these players that they are able to make it to the highest level of hockey. It’s also a reminder that family is an important part of hockey culture and that brotherly love is alive and well in the NHL.
