His son, Josh, is a defenceman for the Colorado Avalanche, and his daughter, Meagan played for the women's soccer team at the University of Saskatchewan. He also has twins; a son, Ben, who previously played for the La Ronge Ice Wolves of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League from 2017 to 2020, and a daughter, Emma.
