Jax was born and raised in New Orleans, surrounded by music, food, and family traditions. Hockey wasn’t the obvious sport choice in Louisiana, but that just made him even more determined to chase it.
He chooses to wear #13 intentionally; one because it’s his birthday, and two because he was told it was unlucky and he took that personally.
Jax is the youngest of four siblings and the only boy.
Growing up with three older sisters shaped him as much as hockey did. He learned emotional intelligence early, how to stand his ground, and how to survive relentless teasing.
1. Camille Boudreaux (Oldest)
Birthday : July 19th 1990
Occupation : Attorney (Civil Rights Law)
Personality : Sharp, composed, fiercely principled
Camille is the family’s anchor. She’s strategic, articulate, and the sibling everyone goes to for advice when decisions carry weight.
Helped Jax navigate his early contract negotiations
The one who taught Jax how to argue effectively
Rarely shows emotion publicly, but is deeply protective of her siblings
Calls him “Jackson” when she’s serious
She attends almost every playoff game
2. Elodie Boudreaux (Middle Sister)
Birthday : April 22nd 1993
Occupation : Trauma Nurse
Personality : Warm, direct, nurturing but no-nonsense
Elodie is the caretaker of the family. Growing up she patched up Jax’s scrapes from street hockey.
Keeps emergency snacks in her purse at all times
Texts Jax reminders to stretch and hydrate
The first person Jax facetimes after a bad loss
Has zero tolerance for anyone disrespecting her family
She’s the reason Jax respects strength in quiet forms
3. Colette Boudreaux (Youngest Sister)
Birthday : December 8th 1996
Occupation : Event Planner
Personality : Dramatic, charismatic, creative
Colette is chaos in the best way. She’s the loudest at games and the mastermind behind several team charity galas.
Loudest laugh in any room, unapologetically
Thrives under pressure, especially energised by wedding disasters
Dramatic storyteller, every minor inconvenience becomes a saga
Extremely loyal, especially her siblings
Calls him “baby brother” in public on purpose
Was the one who convinced him to embrace media appearances
She was the first to cry when he was named Captain.
1. Marcel Boudreaux (Father)
Birthday : September 28th 1965
Occupation : Port of New Orleans Operations Supervisor (formerly dockworker)
Personality : Disciplined, observant, emotionally reserved but deeply devoted
Marcel is a man of structure and quiet authority. He worked his way up from long hours on the docks to a leadership role through grit and determination, something he instilled in all four of his children.
Taught Jax that respect is learned daily
Believes that “talent without discipline is just noise”
Sat through every youth hockey practice he could, even when he didn’t fully understand the sport
2. Sabine Boudreaux (née Laurent) (Mother)
Occupation : High School French Teacher & Former Choir Director
Personality : Warm, intuitive, expressive, emotionally intelligent
Sabine is the emotional centre of the family. Where Marcel is structured, Sabine is soulful. Music filled the home growing up because of her; jazz, blues, French ballads.
She encouraged Jax to embrace culture and identity
Instilled compassion and emotional awareness in all her children
Prayed before every major milestone in her children’s lives
Sabine is the reason Jax carries himself with softness off the ice. She made sure intensity never turned to cruelty.
Chicory coffee in the morning
Blues or Jazz in his headphones
Tapes his stick precisely the same way every game
Steps onto the ice left skate first
Brief moment alone before warmups
On the rare occasions that Jax actually makes it out to the bar or club after a win, he 100% gets a cocktail…first time he went out with the team he accidentally ordered the most dramatic cocktail on the menu, there was at least three sparklers
Can cook a near perfect Gumbo from memory
Gets weirdly competitive with bowling…like way more competitive that when he plays hockey
Can’t sleep without background noise
Always steps onto the ice left foot first…he’s superstitious about it…the one time he didn’t, he ended up dislocating his shoulder
Coat : deep burnt orange with lighter cream underbelly
Was the smallest kitten in the litter and immediately climbed onto Jax’s shoulder the first time they met and wouldn’t let go…decision made
Sleeps stretched out across the entire foot of Jax’s bed like he pays the rent
Absolutely obsessed with laces, will steal laces from any shoes in reach
Has tufted ears and paws so big the team jokes he could play left wing
Hates the vacuum. Will puff up to double his size and “square up” to it
Only drinks water from a running tap
Let’s Jax hold him like a baby, but will absolutely not tolerate anyone else trying
Jax pretends he’s “just a cat”, but Gumbo totally has his own Christmas stocking and getting more presents than anyone else is Jax’s life
Wears a tiny bandana in Gators colours around his neck
