Erin Alvey, Filip Forsberg’s wife, has recently opened up about facing emotional challenges, particularly around family time. She shared on Instagram that both she and their son, Felix, felt sad because Filip had to miss Thanksgiving due to the Predators’ away game in New Jersey
“One of my most favorite weeks of the year… minus we’re both sad to be spending it without the person Felix and I are most thankful for love.
Despite being excited to bring Felix to her childhood home in Georgia, the duo deeply missed Filip’s presence It’s a tough situation she’s navigating—balancing the joy of motherhood with the emotional strain of her husband’s professional commitments.
That moment highlights how players’ families often make personal sacrifices during the season—missing milestones and holidays—when NHL schedules take them on the road.

Sharing a life with you has been my greatest adventure, Filip…and creating a life with you has been my greatest gift. Seeing our son’s eyes light up when he sees you is the most sincere expression of love that I’ve ever witnessed. You are Felix and I’s whole world and we are the luckiest to call you ours. Forever your your number one fans
