Congratulations on your first child, Brandon Carlo and his wife!

The Boston Bruins defenseman has had a busy summer. In July, he signed a six-year contract deal, and he also welcomed his first kid into the world.

During the annual golf event held by the Bruins Foundation on Wednesday, Carlo gave reporters an update on his newfound perspective as a father.

Through a team video, Carlo stated, “Crazy, the sleep hasn’t been going great, but other than that it’s been fantastic.” What a wonderful gift it is to be a first-time father. It’s amazing how full my heart feels right now, and I think that’s a beautiful thing for the season ahead; it just kind of makes you look at life and thankfulness from a different angle. Thus, I believe it will truly give me a sense of stability and support in both my life and my hockey career.

Carlo proposed to his fiancée, Mayson Corbet, last September. Now, their family has gotten one person bigger, with a daughter they named Wren.

“So, Mayson, my partner in crime, she kind of had a list in her phone of names that she’s had for a long time, anticipating that — we’ve always known that we wanted to be parents,” Carlo explained, grinning from ear to ear. “And this one kind of came about in a way like that, she just heard it through some sort of form of social media or word of mouth, I don’t even remember. And for the past couple months we got that name and we’ve been calling her it just kind of stuck and we loved it. In the hospital, come to find out, it’s a type of bird. A little bird, so I thought that was pretty cute. It’s a great name and we love it.”

to ascertain that it’s a species of bird. It was a small bird, which I found to be quite adorable. We think the name is fantastic.

We’d like to extend our congratulations to Carlos and welcome him to the world of Bruins fans.

This summer, Carlo wasn’t the only Bruins player to go through a significant life event. Just one week after Connor Clifton tied the knot, Chris Wagner tied the knot on Cape Cod. Charlie Coyle chose to pop the question to his fiancée in Nantucket in August, taking inspiration from Taylor Hall’s June proposal.

That’s a big number of weddings and infants.
