All of your questions answered!

Good morning!

Hope everyone is already in the holiday spirit. We're in full decorating mode over here - I'll post photos soon.

Many of you have asked different questions, and they will all be answered tomorrow! Today is the day to ask anything (within reason guys) and we'll be posting answers.

Sopes is in town, so forgive me for the short post - need to enjoy every moment. (Really, I just need his muscles to get some heavy chores done around the house before winter!)

Can't wait to see the house, I'm sure it'll be fabulous!

Enjoy your time with Brent!

Hey Sopel Family!

How/when/where did Brent propose and how/when/where did you get married?!

:) Hope you enjoy thinking back down memory lane!

Hi Sopes Family! Hated it when Sopes was traded, the community involvement of the family is a model to be followed. I have an 8x10 photo of Sopes hoisting the Cup on the ice immediately following the win. If I mail it or drop it off, any chance I can get it autographed? Thanks!

Kel, I thought you weighed 80 lbs. That does not constitute heavy lifting ;)

[PensHawksLeafs]

Would love to know if you or your kids have had friend issues (ie. finding out people were only interested because of sopes).

I don't know if I can ask two but do your kids play hockey and can you see any of them going farther in the sport? :)

Thanks Sopels!

What's it going to take to get you family to relocate to Atlanta? It's a great place (really).

[Melle B.]

What's your favorite thing to do as a family in Chicago? I'm excited for the Mag Mile lighting this weekend.

[Kaitlin]

Where does your family love to dine, shop, and have fun? I'm sure you have some great memories. Also, I will be visiting Chicago this weekend and would love some tips!

Now go enjoy more time with Sopes! :)

[Nicolemfinch]

who's your favorite nanny? ;)

[cpayne]

When/How did you and Sopes meet? Was your vow renewal/Wedding over the summer a surprise?

Thank You!

Will you and Brent be hosting "Operation Homefront" again this year, and if so, will you be doing it Chicago, Atlanta, or both?

[Kulnyte]

Now that you've lived in the states for a while would you guys consider yourselves as Canadian or American?

Hi Kel and Brent

What is your favorite wine?

I love wine and maybe you can offer a couple of suggestions to try next time im looking for a bottle.

Thanks for your time

I want to know what is it like to be a significant other/wife/mom/girlfriend/partner to a professional hockey player? how hard is it to watch a game when they get hit, block shots, etc. Do you worry? Do they come home black and blue from blocked shots, elbows, and high sticks? Do you kiss wounds to make them better??

thanks for the locker room tour Sopel! Enjoyed that a lot and look forward to everything y'all share. Also i am sorry for that loss on sunday to the caps :(

Hi Sopel Family:

My husband is a firefighter, so he spends a lot of time away from our family (probably not as much as Brent, though!). I'm curious to know if you have any traditions or special things you do when Sopes has to be away on holidays, birthdays or other special occasions?

Take care!!

[HawkeyGirl24]

Just curious if Brent really misses his friends who are still on The Blackhawks? And is it hard for them to keep in touch being on separate teams and all?

[Kimblasiak]

Kelly,

Is it true that your sister is awesome and would like to see you soon? I hear she would be willing to bring a lot of pie.

[Sandy Couey]

Brent--What is/was your favorite sign made for you by a fan?

Do you need suggestions for things to do with the kids while you're in Atlanta? Hope you have a wonderful time!

[Chgowolves1]

My friend Matt wanted me to ask now that you are in Atlanta who do we contact to see about getting a signed stick for his girlfriend. She too is a HUGE fan and has been going through a lot this past year. We wanted to surprise her with the stick for Christmas, but didn't know who we needed to send in the request to. In Chicago we knew who we'd be able to go through there.

[Emilykate82]

What is the real Jonathan Toews like? Did your family have much to do with him while Sopes was still playing with him?

[Kristen Muraro]

I am curious about the favorite Nanny as well!! Did I make the top 3? HaHa Hope all is well with you!

[Godsendjen]

LOL. Just how many nanny's have you had?

[Codykat]

I'm curious about what your family's favorite holiday tradition is. And also, what was your profession before having kids?

Thank you and I hope you feel better!
