Wayne Gretzky’s daughter-in-law shares emotional birthday message to Ty Gretzky as the family marks milestone moments | NHL News
The Gretzky legacy added another joyful chapter this week as Ty Gretzky, son of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, celebrated his 35th birthday surrounded by family. His wife, Sara Gretzky, took to Instagram to post a touching tribute that gave fans a rare, heartwarming glimpse into the couple’s family life and the deep bond they share with their children.
A birthday celebration filled with love and Disney magic
Sara’s Instagram tribute included a carousel of personal family moments—Ty playing golf, skating, and swimming with their daughters, Sicily and Vienna Leone. Her caption stood out for its creative charm and sincerity: “Happy birthday to Vies handler & the Kristoff to her Elsa, the Maui to their Moana & the Flynn Rider to Sicilys Rapunzel we love you the most.”This blend of Disney references and heartfelt affection captured the depth of Ty’s role as both a father and partner. The couple, who tied the knot on February 29, 2020, celebrated their leap-year wedding with a Gatsby-themed ceremony in Brooklyn. Ty once joked about the rare anniversary date, posting, “2.29.20 Never going to forget it ❤️ see you in 4 years.”
Carrying on the hockey tradition—off the ice
While Ty didn’t follow in Wayne Gretzky’s skates to the NHL, he’s made his own impact in the world of hockey. In 2014, Ty and his father co-founded The Gretzky Hockey School, a program designed to teach young players the fundamentals of the game. The school operates across North America, keeping the Gretzky name tightly woven into hockey culture.Earlier this month, Sara also drew attention for her heartfelt social media response to the tragic Texas floods. Sharing videos and messages from the affected area, she wrote, “These poor families. No matter who you pray to, please keep them in your thoughts,” and added, “Please god praying for more found.” Her emotional posts reflected the family’s connection not just to the sport, but to the broader community as well.Also Read: Wayne Gretzky’s daughter Paulina Gretzky’s Marbella photos wow fans as she shares sneak peek of new songFrom milestones to moments of crisis, the Gretzky family continues to lead with heart—and Ty’s 35th birthday was just one more reminder of that enduring legacy.
