Florida Panthers' Brandon Montour flies home to welcome Kai between Stanley Cup Games

Ryian Montour had initially expected to have a labor induction on June 14 because her baby was due on June 18. But unexpectedly, she went into labor just before Game 1 began. The Florida Panthers defenseman, Brandon Montour, was unaware of this situation until Coach Paul Maurice and General Manager Bill Zito told him shortly after the game.

Brandon Montour immediately started his journey to not miss the birth of his first child with Ryian after becoming aware of the situation. Montour revealed he was the only traveler on the jet when it took off from Las Vegas on Sunday at roughly 2 a.m. Eastern.

His son Kai was delivered about noon after he arrived in Boca Raton at 6:30 a.m. He had to leave his family again with just a few precious minutes to spare.

Montour’s crew had been working hard to prepare for Game 2 on Monday while he had been traveling all night. The hockey star returned to Las Vegas around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday after hurriedly boarding another jet to complete his cross-country trip. His teammates, many of whom were also fathers, were there to welcome him back.
