"The best thing would be if Anže could be here himself to make the announcement," Matjaž Kopitar said, "but I think most people know what normally happens after a wedding." Anže and his wife Ines are expecting their first child in the spring.

This will be the first child for Slovenia's best hockey player and his long-term partner – they have been a couple since 2005. They met in her hometown of Maribor, during a World Cup youth hockey event.

The couple were engaged in April 2013 and got married that summer at the Otočec Castle. Among the invitees was Hollywood actor Matthew Perry, best known for playing the role of Chandler in the comedy show Friends.
