Jordan Staal Was Traded During His Wedding

Staal said that when he and his bride, Heather, planned their wedding they had no idea that the date was also NHL draft day. They certainly didn’t realize that it would also be the day he would leave the Penguins after six seasons to join a team that has his brother, Eric, as its captain.

Just seems like something you check before booking a venue. Jordan said that the prospect of being able to play with Eric factored into his decision to turn down the contract extension. Now he doesn’t need to make that decision. Brother March Staal is a Ranger and the youngest Staal brother, Jared, plays for the Hurricanes’ AHL affiliate.

To recap, the Staal brothers were arrested after Eric’s bachelor party. Jordan got traded during his wedding. Marc didn’t have an incident surrounding his wedding, but just to be safe, when Jared settles down, maybe there should be more cameras present. [USA Today]
