Vincent Trocheck’s family will make second All-Star weekend even more special
SAN JOSE, Calif. Its been seven years since Vincent Trocheck last participated in the NHLs All-Star weekend.
Not only has he changed teams twice this then, going from the Panthers to the Hurricanes to the Rangers, but so much has changed in Trochecks personal life, as well.
Thats what will make this years trip to Toronto so special for Trocheck, who will have his wife, Hillary, and two children, Leo and Lennon, to accompany him this time around.
I think thats number one for me, Trocheck said of sharing the experience with his family, which will also include his parents and his wifes parents. My son Leo, 5 years old, huge hockey fan and he talks about playing as the All Stars on his video games and stuff like that all the time. I was most excited for him to be able to kind of witness that and see me in an All-Star Game.
While goalie Igor Shesterkin was chosen to represent the Rangers because the clubs No. 1 All Star, Artemi Panarin, isnt able to go with his wife expecting another baby, Trocheck was without a doubt the most deserving second option.
Vincent Trocheck is headed back to the All-Star Game — with his family in tow. Robert Sabo for NY PostTrocheck has been the next most consistent Rangers forward to Panarin, with whom he has skated on a line in the last 37 straight games.
Through 46 games, the 30-year-old center has racked up 15 goals and 29 assists.
Entering Tuesday nights game, Trocheck was tied with Mika Zibanejad for the second most points (44) and tied with Chris Kreider for the most power-play goals (nine) on the Rangers.

His 62 percent faceoff win mark is ranked third in the NHL, behind only the Devils Michael McLeod (65 percent) and the Stars Jamie Benn (63.3 percent).
Thats a really well-deserved nod and honor for him, head coach Peter Laviolette said. Hes been so good for our team with all aspects of his game. Leadership. Faceoffs. Defensive play. Offensive play. His line, as far as offense goes and generating offense, theyre one of the top lines in the league. Just a really good thing for him, hes earned it and deserves it. Happy for him.

Check out more newslettersTrocheck has done a little bit of everything for the Rangers since he signed a seven-year, $39.375 million deal in July 2022.
Not only does he play on the top power-play unit, but Trocheck is also a top-five penalty killer on the team.
His line with Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere has been the most consistent offensively for the Rangers.
In 449:45 of ice time, according to Natural Stat Trick, the trio has been on the ice for 24 Rangers goals and 25 against.
Theyve out-attempted opponents 299-206, while also holding a 114-88 edge in high-danger chances.
I think a lot, Trocheck said of how much its helped playing next to Panarin and Lafreniere for a majority of the season. Obviously, having chemistry with guys is important and then having that continuity, game in and game out, with the guys that you have chemistry with, it goes a long way. Just knowing what to expect each game. I think thats been a big factor.
