Former Sens player Mike Fisher, now the captain of the Nashville Predators, has revealed a heartwarming story about his former team back in Ottawa — and it made his wife, country star Carrie Underwood, shed a few tears.
It was February 2011 and Fisher was in his 11th season with the Sens, he writes in an essay for the Players’ Tribune. They were on a road trip to Calgary when GM Bryan Murray asked to see him. The news was that he was being traded away from his “family” of a decade in Ottawa.
What Murray said next is a tearjerker in Fisher’s telling.
“But then Bryan said something that changed my life completely. For the better.
“I’ve got some good news for you, though.” he said. “You’re going to Nashville.”
Oh my goodness. Talk about some life-changing words. I could have been going to 28 other cities, but I was actually going to Nashville, where I could finally be with my wife full-time.
Carrie and I had gotten married the previous July, and because she’s a country music singer, she has to be doing her thing in Nashville for most of the year. So we had been going back and forth between Ottawa and Nashville. As a newlywed couple, it wasn’t easy.
I knew I was incredibly blessed to be going to Nashville. When I was packing up my stuff to go to the airport, I got a call from Eugene Melnyk, the owner of the Senators. He thanked me for my time in Ottawa, and then he said something I will never, never forget.
He said, “You know Fish, I just wanted you to be with your wife.”
When trade talks had heated up, a few teams had been interested in me, but Eugene and Bryan agreed to make sure that my destination would be Nashville. They could have traded me anywhere, but they were genuinely looking out for me and my family. That’s what makes hockey such a special sport, even at the NHL level. Yes, it’s a business, but the amount of good human beings I’ve run across in this sport is just incredible.”
This is amazing. Made me cry… https://t.co/4vpkJQh3D4

Needless to say, Underwood, with whom Fisher has gone on to have a baby boy, was touched.
“This is amazing,” she tweeted. “Made me cry.”
