In Photos: Kraken's Jared McCann ties the knot with long-time girlfriend Valerie in memorable Toronto wedding

Jared McCann of the Seattle Kraken recently tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Valerie Vanderkuylen, in a Toronto wedding on July 11, 2024. They have been dating since early 2018 and both are fond of traveling.

McCann took to his Instagram and posted some wedding photos. In the first picture, Valerie can be seen in her elegant white off-shoulder gown, while McCann opted for a black formal suit with a white shirt, black bowtie, and black oxfords.

Valerie later changed into a simpler white off-shoulder mini dress and they shared kisses as husband and wife. Other photos included McCann posing with friends, including Ryan Donato of the Chicago Blackhawks and Cam Garrow of the Stratford Warriors.

Valerie also shared wedding photos on her personal Instagram. She can be seen with her bridesmaids with flowers in their hands, with her beautiful wedding gown stealing the spotlight.

McCann's pet Corgi 'Cheddar' at the wedding

The couple's dog, Cheddar, can also be seen in the photos. Born on June 13, 2019, the couple hailed him as 'Pawfessional Splooter' and has a personal Instagram with the username @cheddarthecheesecorgi, which is followed by the Seattle Kraken and the NHL. Cheddar can also be seen in a wedding-themed black Bowtie.


The couple enjoying honeymoon time in Il Borro, Italy

After their wedding, the couple took a trip to Italy. Valerie posted a picture with her husband at Il Borro, Tuscany. The couple spent time with nature enjoying the sunny Mediterranean weather, while riding horses side by side.
