Alex Tuch has started a new chapter in his personal life this offseason. The Buffalo Sabres forward tied the knot with his longtime partner Kylie Edwards on Thursday in South Carolina.

Kylie and Alex have been together for over four years now. They welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in December 2023. Earlier they got engaged in March 2022.

The couple said their vows in an outdoor ceremony in Bluffton in attendance of family and close friends. Kylie posted a series of pictures and clips from the celebrations on her Instagram story.

She reposted snaps from Alex’s former teammate Zemgus Girgensons’ wife Katie’s Instagram story, who were in attendance at the event. Former hockey pro Jerret Smith and his wife Kristen Edwards were also among the wedding party.

Alex looked sharp in his black tailor-made tuxedo while his bride wore a flowing strapless white gown and a long veil. Kylie Tuch posted a carousel of pictures on her Instagram account from the wedding ceremony, writing,

“Now & forever 8.9.24 🤍✨🕊️”

Alex Tuch is a beloved persona off-the ice

The Buffalo Sabres forward has made his place in the hearts of fans with his efforts on and off the ice. When Tuch first arrived in Buffalo from the Vegas Golden Knights, he was welcomed within the whole organization for his genuinely amiable attitude. General manager Kevyn Adams had high praise for the player when he started his journey with the Sabres.

“He went around to the entire staff and just introduced himself and learned what people do,” Adams said. “It’s such a big deal when someone who works in operations or the finance department understands that Alex Tuch knows who they are and appreciates the job they do every day.” [H/T The Athletic]

“He’s very genuine. He doesn’t put on pretenses. He’s very engaging. People gravitate to him,” Tuch’s agent Steve Bartlett had said. [H/T The Athletic]

Even his mates regard Tuch as a great off-the ice persona. Alex’s former teammate Zemgus Girgensons praised the player’s ability to jell well with everyone quickly.

“He’s been great since Day 1. He came in and he was not shy or anything. He was around guys like he’d been around for a while.”

Since joining the Buffalo Sabres, Alex Tuch has become known for his positivity and enthusiasm, especially as a lifelong fan of the team. However, he also holds a special place in his heart for Las Vegas, where he spent five years and started the AT9 Foundation. This organization supports children with special needs and funds research to combat childhood cancers.
