Carey Price's wife addresses rumors surrounding Habs goalie's retirement

In an engaging Instagram "Ask Me Anything" session, Angela Price, wife of NHL goaltender Carey Price, took the opportunity to address fans' questions, a few of which were about her husband's future with the Montreal Canadiens and her family's recent move.

One fan asked about the possibility of Carey Price returning to Montreal next season. Price sold his residence in Montreal, with him and his family moving out West, further fueling rumors that the 2022-23 season was his last in the NHL. The netminder has been plagued by knee issues over the past few years and it is widely believed that his career is all but over at this point.

Angela, always forthright, responded with honesty and clarity. She explained that she had to turn to Twitter to understand the context of the question:

“Had to go hit up twitter to see what this was about. From what I read someone mentioned they wouldn't be surprised if Carey took a role with the Habs in the future. So just speculation. Carey's still under contract for 3 more years.”

Another fan expressed admiration for how Angela seems to be handling the move, acknowledging that it couldn't have been easy. Angela admitted that the transition has been surprisingly smooth.

“It still kinda just feels like a normal summer (and we have been so busy we haven't really had any time to even think about it) in the fall when we don't move back I think is when it will hit us”

Highlights from Carey Price's hockey career

Carey Price's star power was visible as he stood confidently in front of the prestigious MGM Grand Hotel's backdrop during the 2015 NHL Awards. That night, Price made history, becoming the first goaltender since Dominik Hasek in 1998 to win the Hart Trophy, the Vezina Trophy, and the Ted Lindsay Trophy. He also shared the William H. Jennings Trophy with Corey Crawford of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Price honed his skills in the Western Hockey League, earning the WHL Goaltender of the Year and Canadian Hockey League Goaltender of the Year. He joined the Montreal Canadiens in 2007 and quickly proved his worth with an impressive 24-12-3 record in his debut season.

Price's talent extended beyond the NHL, helping Canada win the World Junior Championship in 2007 and Olympic gold in Sochi in 2014. His 2014-15 NHL season was nothing short of exceptional, earning 44 victories with a 1.96 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage.
