Shayne Gostisbehere Sister

Shayne Gostisbehere has an older sister named Felicia Gostisbehere, according to The Players' Tribune. Felicia was a national figure skater. However, her career ended after a hip injury. Shayne claimed that Felicia is one of the most important influences in his life and hockey career during an interview with The Players' Tribune:

"Felicia and I would go to the rink whenever we had free time, and we'd race. You know those kids at public skates who show up wearing hockey gloves and rip through everyone without any regard for their surroundings? That was us and we loved it. Without her, I'm not sure I would've had the drive necessary to get to the level I wanted to reach. I saw her work ethic and her passion, and it showed me the way. When I look back on those early days of falling in love with hockey, I think of her."

Felicia is now a mother of three kids and runs a business as a wedding and event designer, according to her X account.
