MONTREAL – To say it’s an exciting time for Jeff Petry and his wife, Julie, would be an understatement.
In addition to making Montreal their hockey home for the foreseeable future after the veteran rearguard signed a six-year contract with the Canadiens back on June 2, the couple will welcome their first child at the end of August, just three weeks prior to the start of training camp.
“We’re really happy about it. It’s the first grandchild on both sides of the family, so everyone’s saying the baby is going to be spoiled rotten,” offered Petry, who recently returned to La Belle Province to visit kids at the Montreal Canadiens Hockey School in Brossard.
