There's a new (and very tiny) member of the Columbus Blue Jackets family! Star defenseman Zach Werenski and his wife, Odette, have officially welcomed their first child into the world. The couple announced the arrival of their baby boy, Hudson Charles Werenski, on May 10, sharing the joyful news with fans just a few days after his birth on May 6.

For Werenski, who has been a cornerstone of the Blue Jackets' blue line and a perennial Norris Trophy finalist, this off-season is shaping up to be the most rewarding one yet. Between anchoring the defense and making a name for himself as one of the league's elite, Werenski now adds "dad" to his impressive resume. Congratulations are in order for the growing family as they settle into this exciting new chapter.
