Perhaps the dreamiest Chicago Blackhawk, Patrick Sharp, is credited with another significant assist.

His wife, Abby, gave birth to their second daughter Sunday night, bringing even more beauty into the Windy City.

Sadie Ellen was born around 6 p.m. on an off-day, though Patrick has told media he’d miss a game. Luckily, the only thing he had to miss was someone else’s athletic effort.

“I missed that fourth-quarter drive by (New England Patriots quarterback) Tom Brady but I’ll sacrifice that,” Sharp said to laughs. “It was awesome timing. Both my daughters are ‘Hawks fans, I guess; (born) on an off day, both of them. I couldn’t be happier. Everybody’s healthy. It couldn’t have been a better day.”

Sadie’s big sister, Madelyn, was born in December, 2011–a lucky night for her dad in more than one way. Not only did he become a first-time dad, he also scored the game-winning overtime goal against the Islanders.

Maybe Sadie can bring that 200th career goal in for her dad!

Either way, we can expect even more adorable Sharp family moments.

Carly grew up needing to know more about icing than its deliciousness on cupcakes. She's the lone daughter of four children, with a father who was among the last cut from the Midwest tryouts for the 1980 Miracle on Ice Olympic team. And she knows very little matches the thrill that happens from puck-drop to handshakes. A rink didn’t return to her hometown until she was gone, but she’s been able to see two younger brothers on the ice. She's their feistiest fan. Her other hockey loyalty lies with the Blackhawks--whether it's meant seeing games for $8 with student IDs when the Madhouse didn’t have much of a temper at all, or dancing to Chelsea Dagger at standing room only--there’s something magical about a roaring anthem, the Indianhead sweater, and the Original Six. A former journalist and current editor, she carries a penchant for excitement (and maybe even fighting) with a resume that includes working for Chicago-area newspapers, and television, including The Jerry Springer Show, as well as NBCUniversal in New York. After East Coast living and a return to the Chicago area, the new Mrs. is giving Graceland a go with her Southern Gent, who now shares her adoration of the game, and their rescue dog, Doc Holliday. Other interests include Cubs, Bears, Illini, Crimson Tide, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, baking a mean pineapple upside-down cake, Kate Spade accessories, and a properly coordinated cardigan for every ensemble.
