“A dream come true,” Ariel captioned the photo. “07.06.2025. The Sherwoods.”

The wedding comes just under a year after Sherwood proposed to Ariel in yet another gorgeous setting. The proposal came while the couple was vacationing in the Caribbean country of Turks and Caicos.

“Forever and a day,” Ariel captioned the series of photos.

Any potential stressors that can come from helping plan a wedding didn’t seem to impact Sherwood at all in 2024-25, as the gritty winger set an NHL record for hits in a season with 462. The previous high belonged to defenceman Jeremy Lauzon, who had 383 in 2023-24.

Sherwood was every bit as good offensively, as well, scoring a career-high 19 goals and 40 points in 78 games.
