Life as a hockey wife is not easy. There are the constant separations, the rumors, the moods, the fans, the injuries, the unpredictable trades and call-ups, the moves from city to city. Stability is not a predominating theme, yet somehow in the midst of it all, the hockey wife has to make a life of it for her family. Philadelphia Phantoms defenseman Dean Melanson said. Gina has a trump card in this game.
Hockey is religion up North.
The Melanson s are a strong family. Daughter, Skyler Jewel is a 6 and a half months old charmer who brightens up the locker room after a hard loss. Hockey runs in Dean's family. There are two older Melanson boys both are involved in the game. There is one sister.
