Reaves-family

Hockey players can deal with reporters, but Ryan Reaves and Ian Cole taught us how they handle questions from their own flesh and blood.

Reaves and Cole answered questions from their fathers Willard and Doug, who are in St. Louis as part of the Pittsburgh Penguins Dads Trip.

Willard Reaves and Doug Cole served as official Dads Trip correspondents for PensTV and asked the tough questions of their famous hockey-player sons. The answers were surprisingly candid, particularly when Ian told his dad "the best part of the Dads Trip this year is we have our own rooms so we don't have to sleep with our snoring dads."
Reaves was slightly more diplomatic to his dad, a former professional football player in the NFL and CFL, but danced around answering Willard's question of who his favorite athlete is who also is his dad.
The boys are undoubtedly happy to have their dads around, even if they might not say it publicly.
