Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller and his wife, Natalie, have welcomed their first son into the world.
Weighing just over eight pounds and measuring 19.5 inches, Owen Edward Miller was born at 11:02 a.m on Thursday. J.T. commemorated the birth of his third child with an Instagram post on Friday morning.
Owen Miller has two big sisters: Scotlyn (born 2018) and Scarlett (born 2019). J.T. and Natalie Miller have been married since 2016.
Former Canucks and Anaheim Ducks forward Emerson Etem was among those who shared congratulations to the Millers on Instagram. Etem played with J.T. on Team USA at the 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Natalie shared a couple photos of Owen on her Instagram story, commenting how her son has “so much brown hair.”
“Still in shock I have a son,” Natalie said. “Can’t wait for the girls to meet him this afternoon.”

Entering the final year of his contract with the Canucks, J.T. is coming off a career-best 99-point season and is undoubtedly due a raise on his current $5.25 million cap hit.
