In a heartfelt and unexpected statement released today, Florida Panthers captain Brad Marchand opened up about his deep love and appreciation for his wife, Katrina Marchand, calling her the cornerstone of his life amid a whirlwind year in his hockey career. The 37-year-old NHL veteran, who was traded from the Boston Bruins to the Panthers in a blockbuster move earlier this year, emphasized that no matter the highs and lows of professional sports, Katrina remains his unwavering priority.

“It’s about my wife Katrina Marchand – she is the woman of my life no matter what,” Marchand said in the statement. “It was natural to propose to her rather than letting her go. She takes care of me, the family. She is a special woman and she understands me. It’s what I was looking for. She is full of support in anything, anywhere. Brad’s must priority about Katrina, after…”

The quote, shared via Marchand’s social media channels and confirmed by his representatives, appears to reflect on their long-term relationship. The couple, who have been together since 2010 and married since 2015, have navigated significant life changes together, including raising their children and Marchand’s recent transition to a new team. Katrina, formerly Katrina Sloane, has been a visible supporter throughout Marchand’s career, often sharing family moments on her Instagram account @kasloane, which boasts over 33,000 followers.

This declaration comes on the heels of an emotional season for the Marchand family. After the trade from Boston, where Marchand spent 16 seasons and became a beloved figure, Katrina publicly appealed to Bruins fans to show love during his emotional return to TD Garden. “Please, just a couple of yays,” she posted on Instagram, highlighting the family’s ties to their former home. The move proved fruitful for Marchand professionally, as he helped lead the Panthers to a Stanley Cup victory in June 2025, but it wasn’t without personal sacrifices. Katrina later broke her silence about the challenges of being separated from her husband during the playoffs, describing the three months apart as tearful but ultimately rewarding.

Fans and teammates alike have praised the couple’s bond. During the Cup celebrations, Katrina shared intimate family moments, including their children welcoming Marchand home. One viral clip from her Instagram showed Marchand kissing the Stanley Cup before embracing her, sparking lighthearted commentary online. Yet, Marchand’s latest words underscore that family comes first – even after hockey. The incomplete phrasing in his statement, “Brad’s must priority about Katrina, after..,” has sparked speculation, with some interpreting it as “after hockey” or “after everything,” emphasizing her role beyond the rink.

The Marchands have three children together: a daughter, Sawyer, and two others, with Katrina also having a son from a previous relationship. Over the years, Katrina has been spotted supporting Brad at international events, such as the 4 Nations Face-Off, where she stunned in a Team Canada WAG jacket. Their story is one of enduring partnership, from Marchand’s early days in the NHL to his current status as a Panthers superstar.

As the Panthers gear up for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, Marchand’s message serves as a reminder of the human side of elite athletes. “She understands me,” he reiterated, a sentiment echoed in fan reactions across social media. One X post from a Bruins fan reflected, “Patrice Bergeron being in Katrina Sloane’s Father’s Day post for Brad Marchand is frying me 😭”, highlighting the close-knit hockey community that has followed their journey.

Marchand’s team has not elaborated further on the statement, but it’s clear that for this NHL icon, success on the ice is amplified by the support waiting at home. As one source close to the family noted, Katrina is indeed “full of support in anything, anywhere” – a true partner in every sense.
