Sergei Fedorov has shared that he has some regrets about leaving the Detroit Red Wings in 2003 — but the retired hockey star is also grateful that it led him to his family.

The retired athlete, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2015, welcomed two children with his wife, Corrina Fedorov. On Jan. 12, Corrina and their two children were there to support Sergei as his jersey was retired by the Red Wings, over two years after he left the team.

In a press conference before the ceremony, Sergei shared that the occasion was more “special” having his wife and kids by his side.

“[I] may be a late bloomer as far as family and kids, but I want to make sure I do one thing at a time and I do it well,” he said. “So when I was ready, thank god I met my lovely wife and we became a family [and had] kids.”

Here’s everything to know about Sergei Fedorov’s wife and kids.

Sergei and Corrina have kept the details of their romance private, though he shared during his jersey retirement night speech that they met after he left Detroit.

“Leaving Detroit when I did was a huge mistake, that is on me,” he said, adding that “one great thing came out of that situation.”

“It sent me on a path to meeting the love of my life, my wife Corrina,” he said. “I love you very much. You are my rock.”

Sergei and Corrina welcomed one son and one daughter together. Although it’s unknown when they were born, he shared during the January 2025 press conference that they are 8 and 9 years old.

In December 2024, Sergei, then a CSKA coach, discussed his personal life during a ceremony where his name banner was raised. As he discussed leaving his coaching career behind, Sergei shared that it is “very important” to be with his family.

“They matured very quickly,” he said of his two children. “Unfortunately, I haven’t been home for a very long time, especially the last three years. Now I understand how they live and what are their interests. The day starts at seven in the morning, I cook breakfast, dress the children, send them to school, sometimes I take them myself. That’s why everything suits me.”

Sergei shared during a November 2025 press conference that he didn’t have interest in pursuing a career as an NHL coach, explaining that he is focused on putting his family first.

“I’m totally a family man,” the athlete said, explaining that he doesn’t see himself trying to “conquer” something else.

“I think coaching or something like that, or anything like that, it’s not gonna be on my mind. And I don’t think it’s possible,” he continued. “I want to stay with the family and grow together with my kids and be around for them.”

They support his career

Though Sergei has retired, his wife and kids supported his coaching career in Moscow — and have been by his side as his legacy has been honored over the years.

After he led the CSKA to victory as coach in the Gagarin Cup Finals in 2024, Sergei and Corrina celebrated with a passionate kiss on the ice in celebration, as seen in a video on Kontinental Hockey League’s (KHL) official Facebook page.

That December, his wife and two kids were there to support Sergei as his banner was raised at CSKA’s arena, per another video on KHL’s Facebook.

In the pre-ceremony press conference on Jan. 12, Sergei discussed how his kids weren’t alive to see him play during the prime of his career — and they don’t necessarily jump at the opportunity to watch videos either.

The retired hockey player joked that they are “watching everything but their dad’s highlights.”

“They watch [Lionel] Messi, [Cristiano] Ronaldo, Ovi [Alexander Ovechkin],” he said. “I tried a couple of times. Let’s watch, you know, a few goals that your dad scored. And my son says, ‘Okay.’ Not much emotions going on.”

“Maybe when we get back to Russia they will ask some questions,” Sergei joked.
