Erin Andrews made special sports memories when her young son Mack Roger Stoll met Mark Messier, perhaps the greatest of all time in the NHL. A six-time Stanley Cup champion and a Hall of Fame inductee, he is truly one of the game's greatest. With Mack's father Jarret Stoll being an NHL vet himself, this encounter was a beautiful convergence of legacy and history for Mack. Moments like this go to show just how deeply hockey runs through the Andrews-Stoll household.

Erin Andrews enters a new era after FOX

The famous sportscaster took to Instagram to call Messier "Mack met royalty Tonight." Rightly so, he holds that title as he is an all-time great, winning six Stanley Cups and joining the Hall of Fame.
With her contract now off at FOX Sports, new opportunities lie in wait for Andrews. Even if it was widely known for her NFL sideline reporting, she has lately been switching turf for that of the rink. She recently participated in Skate for LA Strong, a charity hockey event for L.A. wildfire relief, alongside NHL greats and wildly famous individuals like Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn, with her husband Jarret Stoll also putting on skates.

Rumors are now swirling about her next career move, with fans speculating whether she would move into the broadcasting realm of the NHL-or be considered for any assignment in the world of sports. Either way, it wouldn't be a surprise for someone who has lived and breathed sports for years to go for it. An additional factor fuelling this speculation was her emotional response to the Super Bowl recap by ex-FOX colleague Peter Schrager, which many interpreted as a clear sign that her departure from FOX was now formalized.

It is not a downtime for Andrews-it is time for opening fresh doors. Whether that will be for NHL broadcasting or for some other big role in sports media is the one thing we can say for certain: big things come in her way. From some unforgettable sports moments with family to the potential of jumping into new endeavors in her life, Andrews is savoring them all. And if hockey happens to be next in line? Well, wise choice for the sport on her donation of energy and expertise.
