Devon Toews and Kerry Wetzelberger, originally from Abbotsford, now call Colorado home. They first met in The Upper East and have since built a life together. In 2021, they welcomed their daughter Bennett. Embracing the cold Denver winters, the trio finds joy in their time together.
Kerry, hailing from a long line of educators, has been a pillar of support for Devon, contributing significantly to his successful hockey career since around 2015. Devon, a Canadian professional ice hockey defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche, was drafted by the New York Islanders in 2014 and later won the Stanley Cup with the Avalanche.
Kerry herself is an educator from The Upper East, known for her dedication during the pandemic. Both she and her father, also a teacher, transitioned seamlessly to online teaching during the COVID-19 crisis. Devon admires Kerry’s creativity in teaching, especially in engaging her students with various activities both indoors and outdoors.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Kerry’s family, including her mother, sister, and aunt who are nurses, remained healthy and resilient. Devon expressed his admiration for their dedication to fighting the virus on the front lines.
Devon and Kerry exchanged vows in 2020 and are now happily settled with their daughter in Denver. Although their wedding plans were initially disrupted by the pandemic, they eventually tied the knot in 2020 with the help of new organizers and suppliers.
Throughout the lockdown, Devon focused on his training while Kerry continued her teaching duties remotely. Their strong bond and mutual support sustained them through challenging times.
The couple’s joy was further amplified with the arrival of their daughter Bennett in 2021, marking a new chapter in their lives. They received warm wishes and congratulations from friends and fans alike on this special occasion.
