List of family relations in the National Hockey League

This is a list of family relations in the National Hockey League. Since the creation of the National Hockey League in 1917, family members have been involved in all aspects of the league. Although most connections are among players, there have been significant contributions from family members in coaching, managing, scouting, and refereeing. According to this list, 47 pairs of brothers have played together on the same team; among them, ten have won the Stanley Cup together. Brothers have also squared off against each other five times in the Stanley Cup finals, most recently in 2003. Twenty-six sons have followed in their father's footsteps and played for his team. Only once has a father played "with" his sons, when Gordie Howe played with Mark and Marty for one season with the Hartford Whalers. The Montreal Canadiens have seen the most familial connections with 15: nine brother pairs, two father-son combinations, one grandfather-grandson combo, one uncle-nephew pair, one set of brothers-in-law, and one combination of father-in-law and son-in-law.

Below is a list of family relations throughout the NHL since 1917. Names in bold have won the Stanley Cup. Names in "italics" are members of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
