Alex Newhook is now in the news as he signed a new contract with the Montreal Canadiens. The forward will be very happy with the terms of his contract and has an opportunity to show his worth in a new team.

We know about Newhook on the ice but what about off the ice? Who are the supporting figures behind the player? One of them is not difficult to name and that is partner Maya Shaughnessy.

Maya Shaughnessy is a Boston College student. She may be found on Instagram by searching for @mayashaughnessy. With 76 posts, Maya has amassed more than 3,000 followers and follows a 100 back.

She has also been active on her partner's Instagram account and is supportive of him.

The age gap between Alex Newhook and Maya Shaughnessy is not known. Alex, who is 22 years old, was born in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, on Jan. 28, 2001. Maya is in her 20s as well. She hasn't disclosed her age or birthdate, though.

From whatever we have seen, she looks to be part of his support team and will probably be his cheerleader wherever he goes, even if it is Montreal.
