Dylan Strome Misses Birth of Third Daughter While on the Ice
So here’s a story that’s equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. Dylan Strome, the NHL star, recently became a dad for the third time—but he missed the birth of his daughter, Sutton Kimberley, because he was literally on the ice playing a game. Yeah, talk about bad timing.
It all happened during a game between the Washington Capitals and the Montreal Canadiens. During the first intermission, Strome shared the news with reporters, saying, “While the first period was going on, my warrior of a wife had our third daughter… while we were on the ice.” You could tell just how emotional he was, because he admitted it was tough not being there for that moment. He even called the experience “something I don’t think I’ll ever experience again, hopefully no one does,” describing the helpless feeling of missing such a big life event.

Tayler, his wife, went into labor a couple of hours before puck drop, and Sutton was born at 7:30 p.m., just half an hour after the game started. Dylan explained that he thought he might make it home in time, but it didn’t work out that way. He had to rely on some “reinforcements” to get to the hospital while he stayed on the ice, all while juggling the care of their two older daughters, Weslie, 4, and Emerson, 2.
Despite the stress, Dylan made it clear how proud he was of Tayler. He called her a “warrior” and couldn’t stop praising her for handling everything so bravely. Once he got the news, he admitted that hockey wasn’t even on his mind anymore—he was completely focused on his family.
Both Dylan and Tayler shared the news on Instagram, celebrating Sutton’s arrival. Dylan posted a photo of their family of five, calling himself a “girl dad x3” and noting that this birth was a bit different emotionally than the others—more tears, more pride, more awe for his wife. Tayler shared photos of little Sutton in a cute sweater onesie and also captured the moment with all three daughters holding their new baby sister.
It’s one of those stories that reminds you that even pro athletes, who are used to high-pressure moments, are just humans at the end of the day—balancing careers and family, and sometimes missing once-in-a-lifetime events. But the takeaway here is crystal clear: Dylan’s admiration for Tayler and the joy of welcoming Sutton into their lives shines through, even from the middle of the ice.
In the end, the Strome family is together, healthy, and celebrating the newest little addition, and Dylan has a new story that’s equal parts hockey and heart.
