Former NHLer Carey Price and Angela Price have been married for over a decade now. The couple have known each other for two decades and Angela Price shared the story how it all started with fans.

On Thursday, Angela posted an Instagram story celebrating the 20th anniversary of their first date. Angela recalled that they met through a mutual friend and went on a double date.

“20 years ago today I had my first date with care. My friend @watson_lo introduced us, and we went to Red Robin on a double date. I couldn’t help but notice his large hands and found his Canadian accent so silly,” she wrote.

Angela shared how their early relationship faced a challenge when Carey’s coach suggested they stop dating and they had to keep their relationship under wraps. She wrote:

“The following night, I attended his game where he let in several goals. Eventually, we were informed by his coach that we couldn’t continue dating due to me being a distraction.”

“This led us to keep our relationship a secret, adding an element of excitement that likely contributed to our continued commitment to each other,” she added.

The couple married in August 2013 after almost nine years of dating. They have three children together, Liv, Millie and Lincoln.

Angela Price opens up on missing NHL friend groups after Carey Price's retirement

Earlier in September, Angela engaged in a Q&A session with fans on Instagram. She discussed how life has changed since Carey Price retired from the NHL.

In response to one of the questions, she mentioned that although she misses the friendships formed with partners of other NHL players, she noted that many of the people in those groups are new and she no longer feels connected to the group.

Being introverted, Angela admitted she wasn’t very active in social gatherings, but values the close friendships she made during that time.

“It was a beautiful period of my life and I made some friendships that will last a lifetime time but I was happy to move on to the next chapter,” she added.

When asked to share the secret to her successful marriage, Angela said communication is the key to her strong marriage with Carey. She acknowledged that they don’t have a perfect marriage but stay open and honest with each other, which has worked for them over the years.
