Angela Price rips media for announcing couple's pregnancy news

We had not yet told the majority of friends and family who are now reading it all over the internet. The past couple of weeks Carey and I had been discussing ways we could announce our big news, anxiously awaiting for that all important doctor appointment where we would get the green light to share OUR news. But why would a first time mother and father want to be the ones to announce this big news, when heartless media can do it for you?!

To explain, I will say this, which is what I communicated with Angela later that afternoon: My motivation was to share exciting and happy news with people who adore Carey and Angela, not a desire to manufacture a scoop. I wouldn't normally Tweet that kind of information, but I was genuinely happy for a man whom I respect greatly for how he conducts himself as a professional and a person. Moreover, I admire what Carey stands for, especially when it comes to honouring his First Nations heritage and helping indigenous children and youth.

However, I want you to understand that I did not go through your trash or hacked your medical record. I got the information via a remote member of your entourage. This kind of good news spreads very quickly. When I got the tip, I took time to think about how to release it. I thought about the image you project. You are active on Twitter, you manage a personal blog that exposes your relationship, marriage and your family experiences. In addition to having participated in 24CH, you’re going to be the new headliner of a reality show on the lives of hockey players wives. I misjudged your image, but I thought you were the kind of woman who accepts and understands that when one is exposed in this way in the media in a hockey city like Montreal, there’s some risk of losing some privacy. It is what I did.
