Despite their busy lives, Jay and Karri have always made time to attend Brock's games and show their support. In an interview with The Rink Live's Jess Myers and Mick Hatten, Brock spoke fondly of his parents and the role they have played in his life:

“It was pretty special. They love having me close. They love going to all the games. I’m pretty lucky to be able to stay close here.”
