Sir Rod Stewart certainly has a lot to brag about, but his latest boast has absolutely nothing to do with his legendary music career.

These days, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is nothing more than a proud papa, extolling the virtues of his son, Liam, on social media.

Liam Stewart, a professional hockey player who picked up the game while growing up in Los Angeles, is currently playing for Great Britain at the IIHF World Championship Division I tournament. In a 5-1 win over Estonia on Monday night, Liam scored the first international goal of his career, and no one appeared to be happier than his dad.

Well, that may not be entirely true. Liam’s second celebrity parent ― his supermodel mom, Rachel Hunter ― was at the game and captured her son’s big goal on video.

It’s safe to say Hunter is pretty excited for Liam as well.

Liam, 22, played with the WHL’s Spokane Chiefs for four seasons before joining the Alaska Aces of the ECHL in 2015. He played the 2016-17 season as a member of the EIHL’s Coventry Blaze and he’s now competing in his first senior international tournament with Great Britain.

With his goal against Estonia, Stewart is beginning to make a name for himself on the international stage but because of his name, he’ll always be known the prized son of a legendary recording artist. Which is why he felt a little embarrassed when, after Great Britain’s tournament-opening win against Croatia, the cameras captured Stewart struggling to remember the lines to ‘God Save The Queen.’

Stewart, who was born in London but grew up in L.A., is not an American citizen, leaving Great Britain as his only option for international competition.

“I’ve learned them (the lyrics) a little bit now, but that was a bit embarrassing,” Stewart shared with the IIHF. “Hopefully we’ll keep hearing it after every game here and I’ll have them perfect by the end of the week.”
