Erin Andrews just dropped the ultimate sports crossover episode—part hockey royalty, part family flex, and 100% iconic. Picture this: your kid, barely old enough to hold a hockey stick, dapping up one of the greatest players to ever lace up skates. That’s exactly what went down when Andrews’ son, Mack Roger Stoll, met NHL legend Mark Messier. And honestly? This is the kind of wholesome, full-circle sports moment we live for.

She took to Instagram to share the legendary link-up, writing: “MACK MET ROYALTY TONIGHT @THEREALMARLMESSIER.” No exaggeration—Messier is him. The guy’s a six-time Stanley Cup champ, a Hall of Famer, and a straight-up icon in the hockey world. When you grow up in a house where your dad’s an NHL star and your mom is one of the most recognizable sports broadcasters, no offense but meeting Messier is just another Tuesday.

For real, Messier didn’t just play hockey—he owned it. He was a beast with the Edmonton Oilers, stacking up five Cups  then went full main-character energy in 1994 when he led the Rangers to their first Stanley Cup in 54 YEARS. That win alone put him in the hockey Hall of Fame, but his leadership and clutch performances made him the guy every team wanted. Meeting him? That’s a core memory for little Mack.

And let’s not sleep on Erin Andrews’s husband, Jarret Stoll. The man played 14 seasons in the NHL, securing two Stanley Cups with the Kings in 2012 and 2014. Not only did he put in work on the ice, but he’s still in the mix, helping with player development for the Kings and breaking down plays as an analyst. TL; DR—this fam breathes hockey.

Erin Andrews hits the ice after FOX—Is a new chapter brewing?

Erin Andrews is officially in her free agency era, and she’s making the most of it. With her FOX Sports contract now expired, the longtime NFL sideline reporter isn’t just sitting around waiting for the next big gig—she’s lacing up her skates and hitting the ice. This weekend, she’s traded touchdowns for slapshots at Skate for LA Strong, an NHL-backed charity game that’s bringing together sports legends, celebs, and Hall of Famers to raise money for L.A. wildfire relief.

Andrews announced her involvement on Instagram, revealing a chef’s kiss lineup that includes Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Danny DeVito, and a squad of hockey greats. And because this wouldn’t be an Erin Andrews moment without a little full-circle sports magic, her husband—two-time Stanley Cup champ Jarret Stoll—is also suiting up. Is this just a fun weekend event? Sure. But when you’re Erin Andrews, every move is a power play.

Fans are already speculating if this skate session is more than just a casual cameo. Could a pivot to NHL broadcasting be in the cards? She’s spent over a decade dominating the NFL sidelines, but with her contract status up in the air, she’s got the freedom to shake things up. She’s got the charisma, the knowledge, and let’s be real—hockey would be lucky to have her.

The speculation only intensified after her emotional Instagram comment on FOX colleague Peter Schrager’s Super Bowl recap. “Omg I’m crying,” she wrote, which sparked major ‘Is this her goodbye?‘ energy. But, later confirmed. So yeah, Erin Andrews is out here thriving. Legendary sports moments, career glow-ups, and mom life? She’s eating. And honestly? We’re here for it.
