Julie Petry is the wife of NHL defenseman Jeff Petry, who was recently traded to the Montreal Canadiens. Julie manages a bustling household with three active boys while supporting her husband's hockey career. Let's get to know more about Julie and her life as part of an NHL family.
Originally from Houston, Texas, Julie attended Michigan State University for field hockey. It was at MSU where she met Jeff Petry, who was playing hockey for the university as well. Their connection grew, and they got married shortly after graduation.
The couple's hockey journey took them to Edmonton, Alberta, where Jeff Petry played for the Edmonton Oilers. Eventually, they decided to settle in Michigan, making it their home base due to Jeff's offseason training and the beautiful summer the state offers. Additionally, having family nearby in Farmington Hills made it an ideal location.
Julie and Jeff Petry are parents to four boys: Boyd, Barrett, Bowen and Blake. While their oldest son, Boyd, has shown an interest in hockey, Julie and Jeff are not pushing their children to follow in their father's footsteps. They believe in supporting their children's interests and letting them decide if they want to pursue hockey or any other passion.
