Pronger also had an impressive international career, winning two Olympic gold medals (2002, 2010) with Team Canada. However, his career ended in 2011 due to post-concussion syndrome and vision issues. Despite his injuries, his impact on the game remains significant, earning him a place among the 100 Greatest NHL Players of All Time in 2017.
Who is the wife of Chris Pronger?
Chris Pronger is married to Lauren Pronger. She is a co-founder of their boutique luxury travel company, Well Inspired Travels. She has a deep passion for travel, which started in her childhood. When she was six years old, her father was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer and given only a 10% chance to live. Instead of staying home, he chose to travel the world with his family, finding joy and healing in the experience. These trips exposed Lauren to different cultures.
As she grew older, Lauren continued her love for travel, especially as she and Chris navigated his hockey career. They often visited private and wellness-focused destinations, which helped Chris maintain his fitness. Over time, friends began reaching out to Lauren for travel advice, and she enjoyed helping them find ideal destinations. Chris recalled via Forbes:
“As social media grew and people learned of our travels, my wife would get requests from friends for suggestions about their travels. So she would help them connect with the right people and set up the right trip.”
Lauren faced multiple personal challenges in her family as her father had a stroke, her mother battled breast cancer, and Chris suffered a career-ending eye injury and concussion. These difficult moments deepened her belief in travel and wellness.
With this background, Lauren and Chris launched Well Inspired Travels, a company that caters to elite athletes, executives, and high-performing individuals who seek luxury travel experiences while prioritizing wellness. Lauren plays a key role in curating personalized trips as per Forbes.
