Brad Marchand’s life on the ice is nothing short of legendary, but off the rink, his story is just as compelling, thanks to his wife, Katrina Sloane. Their love story began in 2010, and five years later, in 2015, they sealed the deal in a breathtaking countryside wedding. Katrina, born on November 24, 1986, in Bristol, Rhode Island, is more than just a hockey wife; she’s a businesswoman, a mother, and Marchand’s biggest supporter.
Katrina has a background in real estate and a keen eye for interior design, which she showcases on her social media. She once worked as a licensed real estate agent and received five-star reviews from clients who praised her knowledge, honesty, and dedication. While her career path eventually shifted, her passion for home design remained, and she often shares glimpses of her work online. She also owns an online clothing store, March & Mill Co., proving she can juggle business, motherhood, and marriage with remarkable finesse.
How Brad Marchand and His Wife Katrina Sloane Balance Hockey and Raising Three Kids
Before meeting Brad, Katrina had a son, Sloane, born on August 5, 2009, from a previous relationship. Marchand has embraced him as his own, and their bond is evident—Sloane even walked down the aisle at their wedding carrying a sign that read, “Poppa, here comes mommy.” Their family grew when Katrina and Brad welcomed two daughters: Sawyer, born on July 17, 2017, and Rue, born in February 2022. The couple frequently shares sweet family moments on social media, from Taylor Swift concert outings to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations where they belt out Bohemian Rhapsody in matching green attire.
Their wedding was nothing short of a fairytale. Held at a private mansion in the countryside, the event was styled with vintage touches by Shabby Chic, featuring bar lounges under oak trees and tiki tents for the children. Their love story, captured beautifully by renowned wedding photographer Nathan Coe, continued to unfold in the years that followed, with Katrina often posting heartfelt tributes to her husband.
Brad, known for his fierce competitiveness on the ice, has always been vocal about Katrina’s role in his life. In a February 2023 interview, he praised her for “holding the fort down at home” while he focused on his hockey career. “Without her, I’d be a wreck,” he admitted. On Mother’s Day, he gushed about Katrina being the glue that holds their family together, promising to “love and cherish” her forever. Katrina, in turn, has been equally expressive, calling Brad the “best there is” on Father’s Day and celebrating their milestones with touching Instagram posts.
Beyond their family life, Katrina has been Brad’s unwavering cheerleader throughout his career. Whether it’s donning a Team Canada WAG jacket at the 4 Nations Face-Off or celebrating his 1,000th game with the Boston Bruins, she’s always there, supporting him through victories and challenges. When Team Canada defeated the U.S. in February 2025, Katrina proudly posted a family picture with Brad holding the 4 Nations trophy, adding a heartfelt “So proud of you.”
The Marchands’ life together is all about love and unwavering support. Despite Brad’s trade from the Bruins to the Florida Panthers in March 2025, Katrina remains his rock. Though the trade was a shock—especially since Brad had long expressed his desire to retire in Boston—the possibility of his return as a free agent remains open. Regardless of where his hockey journey takes him, one thing is certain: Katrina will be right by his side, just as she has been for the past 15 years.
