Carey Price's wife Angela opens up about a health scare during hiking trek - "I didn't know if I should go to the hospital"

Carey Price’s wife Angela Price's recent girls’ trip to Tickton for her friend’s 40th birthday took a stressful turn after a tick scare. Angela mentioned that the group had gone wine tasting and hiking, and although they knew the area had high tick activity, they only did a brief check.

Angela Price explained that during a company meeting the next day, she suddenly felt something on the back of her neck. She ran to the mirror and found a tick. Angela said she was home alone and didn’t know what to do at first. She thought about calling Carey but knew he wasn’t available.

“I don't know if I should go to the hospital and have them remove it what to do so I emailed the group of girls I was on the trip with and they jumped into action like of course a bunch of moms was gonna handle it,” Angela said in an Instagram story on Wednesday.

“They were calling their doctors, sending me exactly what to do, what to look for. Maggie came over and she's like, ‘Oh I got it.’ Didn't even flinch and got it out right away.”

Angela said it didn’t look like it had been there long and wasn’t engorged. She also mentioned it wasn’t her first tick encounter. She recalled a similar incident last year and said she believes the ticks might be getting into her hair and hiding before attaching.

She described the experience as disgusting and said she scrubbed her hair multiple times afterward. Angela shared that she had kept the tick and might get it tested. However, she mentioned that she wasn’t too worried about Lyme disease, as cases in British Columbia are rare and it hadn’t been attached for long.

Carey Price’s wife Angela shares her take on fan labelling Hockey Canada sexual assault case as "hockey culture"

During an Instagram Q&A last week, Angela Price responded to a follower who asked for her thoughts on the 2018 World Junior sexual assault case and the broader issue of hockey culture. She mentioned that she has been following the case closely, but refused to label it as ‘hockey culture’.

“I can't see how we can classify this as 'hockey culture.' I really don't think that's fair, just in my experience. I think it's more young guy culture,” she said.

Angela shared a personal memory from her senior year of high school, describing an incident that reminded her of the current case, though it didn’t involve hockey players. She mentioned that the people involved weren’t athletes but that the situation had similarities to what’s now being examined in the hockey world.

"I don't wanna say it's hockey culture. Then again, I've witnessed this hockey world for more than 20 years and I've seen some not so great things. But it's been on both sides. It's a tough situation and I kinda feel for every single person involved," she added.

The case itself stems from allegations that a woman was sexually assaulted by eight men following a Hockey Canada gala in 2018. Five NHL players, Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton and Carter Hart have pleaded not guilty. The trial is underway in London, Ontario, and is expected to run for several weeks.
