NHL player Erik Haula just paid tribute to his daughter that he lot to a miscarriage. On Tuesday, the Carolina Hurricanes player took the ice just one day after he and his wife, Kristen Haula, learned they lost their daughter during a doctor's visit. Erik recorded a goal in the Hurricane's 3-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens and when he scored the goal, he pointed to the sky to honor his daughter.
"Our baby girl gone way too soon," Erik wrote on Instagram. "Mommy & Daddy will always love you and we cannot wait to hold you one day in heaven."
Kristen also shared the news on her Instagram account. "We are starting 2020 with our own beautiful little angel looking over our family," she wrote. "While it's not what is best for everyone, it personally feels best for us to share. Sometimes there are things in life that happen that are completely out of our control.
"While it may be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel on some days going forward, and some may be harder than others to understand why this happened, the complete joy & excitement she has brought to us and those who love her will be with us forever. Mommy and Daddy know she is being taken care of in heaven. 'She was here for a moment, but left a lifetime of love."
