Cast for upcoming Hockey Wives reality series revealed
The hockey world is about to get a dose of reality.
Hockey Wives, an eight-episode reality series that documents the lives of 10 women married to current and former NHL players, debuts on Mar. 18 on Canada’s W Network. As of now, there’s no U.S. home for the series.

“Hockey Wives will provide our audience with an insider’s look at how exciting and glamorous the lives of these 10 independent women can be,” said John MacDonald, vice president of Corus Entertainment. “It will also show how the many challenges and crises all relationships face are amplified when lives are lived on the front page of the sports section. Through this series, W viewers and hockey fans will have an inside look at how these unique women embrace the game and navigate their relationships, careers and everyday lives.”
Nicole Brown (right, in the photo above), the wife of Kings captain Dustin Brown, and Noureen DeWulf, wife of Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller, are the two most prominent members of the cast. Brown was featured prominently in NHL Revealed, a documentary series that led up to the Sochi Olympics. DeWulf stars opposite Charlie Sheen on the sitcom, Anger Management.
