Earlier this year, in an interview with ESPN’s Kat Ellis during the 4 Nations Faceoff tournament, Jordan Leigh mentioned that Aleksander Barkov will be one of the groomsmen at their upcoming summer wedding.

“He’s [Barkov] one of the groomsmen in our wedding coming up,” Jordan said while watching the Finnish players skate past from the glass seats.

She also shared that she does not usually sit so close to the ice as it makes her anxious.

“That even, like, up in the stands, my hands are, like, whoa! … It's, like, very physical, like, game-watching. And I can't even imagine, like, being this close to it,” Leigh added.

Jordan Leigh and Patrik Laine got engaged last year and are set to tie the knot this summer. Jordan celebrated her bachelorette party at St. Barths with her friends engaging in various fun activities last month.
