Edmonton Oilers star Zach Hyman made a big announcement after arriving late to training camp.
In a post-practice media session, Hyman revealed that he and his wife, Alanna, had welcomed their third child, a boy named Camden.
"9:30 practice, I [came in at] 9:27 and we ere just about to start," Hyman laughed. "Apparently, [that] isn't good...the guys were giving me a little grief and I was like, 'We said 9:30, 9:27 I was good.'"
Hyman, a former Toronto Maple Leafs forward, had a career-best season last year, scoring more than 50 goals for the first time. He netted 54 goals and added 23 assists for 77 points in 80 games, helping the Oilers reach the Stanley Cup Final. In the playoffs, he contributed 16 goals and 6 assists in 25 games.
Despite his late arrival, Hyman quickly rejoined the top line with Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Oilers fans are hoping that the newest addition to the Hyman family will inspire him to have another 50-goal season and help Edmonton win their first Stanley Cup since 1990.
