Jeremy Roenick's wife Tracy discloses how his "soul searching" aided in getting HHoF call up
Tracy Roenick recently opened up about her husband, Jeremy Roenick's journey of soul searching, which influenced his upcoming induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Roenick is set to be honored alongside other hockey greats like Natalie Darwitz, Pavel Datsyuk, Shea Weber and Krissy Wendell-Pohl. Known for his gritty, fast and skilled play, Jeremy Roenick also brought a unique flair to the ice with his dancing style, which distinguished him from his peers.
“He’d do that same routine in the locker room just to get everyone jammin’,” said his wife, Tracy. “That’s just part of him. That’s who he is.”
During an interview with NHL.com, Tracy mentioned that Jeremy took time to reflect on his life and who he is as a person, which helped him move past his worries of not getting inducted in the HHOF earlier.
“He really changed his life and did some soul-searching about who he was as a man, a human, and stopped worry about this,” she said. “And it’s funny how in life, when do good and you’re better and you walk a good line, all of a sudden the phone rang.”
Tracy added that Jeremy is going to feel very emotional during his speech:
“He’s going to be very emotional tomorrow, his speech,” his wife added. “I don’t know how he’s going to make it up on stage even to say thank you.”
The 2024 Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Monday in Toronto.
