Erin Andrews says her son shows interest in following in dad's hockey footsteps
While co-hosting 'Today With Jenna and Friends,' Fox Sports reporter and podcast host Erin Andrews took some time to talk about her 1-year-old son, Mack.
Andrews shares son, Mack, with her husband of 7 years, former professional hockey player Jarret Stoll.
While talking with Jenna Bush Hager, Andrews shared how Mack's not even 2 years old yet and he's already learning how to move around in skates.
'The thing in our house right now is my son, Mack, almost two, getting him to walk in skates, hockey skates, because when we get him on the ice, he's already got the balance,' Andrew explained.
And as the proud mom shared, Andrews said Mack has really started enjoying wearing the hockey skates around their house.
'Apparently, Daddy put the skates away in a drawer. I got the old, 'Hey, babe, I was watching the playoffs, hockey playoffs, for a couple minutes.' The old, 'I turned my head for one minute,'' Andrews shared, admitting she was concerned before Stoll explained that Mack got the skates out of the drawer on his own.
'He goes, 'Mack, opened up the drawer, grabbed his skates and brought them over to dad, and dad goes, you want me to put him on?' So that's, like, a big deal. So he likes it.'
Andrews shared a video of Mack walking around in the skate, much to Hager's surprise. 'Wait, he's a toddler?' Hager asked.
'Yeah, he's not even two. Look at him. I mean, he's crushing being on those skates. So we just want his ankles to be strong, right? Look at his little legs,' Andrews shared.
Fans were also impressed, like Hager.
'Omggg! So cute! He has such amazing balance,' one person wrote.
'This is adorable,' another added.
'Jarrett is soooooo proud!!!! Look at his face when Mac walks over to him,' another commenter wrote.
According to Project Play, there are many benefits for kids who play sports, noting that it can help 'children develop and improve cognitive skills.'
'Physical activity in general is associated with improved academic achievement, including grades and standardized test scores. Further, such activity can affect attitudes and academic behavior, including enhanced concentration, attention, and improved classroom behavior,' the website reads.

MotoGP Experiences Exponential Growth In America
AUSTIN, TX - MARCH 30: Marco Bezzecchi (72) of Italy and Aprilia Racing leads a pack of riders up ... More the hill into turn one during the MotoGP Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas on March 30. 2025, at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas. (Photo by David Buono/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) MotoGP is growing at a rapid pace in America after Dorna Sports inked a deal with Fox Sports. MotoGP, a global phenomenon, is experiencing a 53% year-after-year growth in its American broadcast viewership. Brothers Alex and Marc Marquez have taken the world by storm, dominating MotoGP in a rare show of force from a pair of brothers competing in the same series. Marc currently leads Alex in the standings, providing a nice family touch to a growing sport. The Americas GP Sprint at Circuit of the Americas averaged 66.1K viewers on FS2, up 30% from the Argentina GP on FS1 and 86% over last season's Sprint average. The Americas GP race drew 122.9K viewers on FS1, up 24% from the Argentina GP on FS2 and 259% over last season's GP average. The growth is not surprising, as the NTT IndyCar Series' debut year on Fox is also seeing a surge in the open-wheel division's audience, as well. "We know we have a responsibility to build this sport here, because there is such a there's a very, very significant core fan base that we want to expand, but we also have to serve that existing fan base as well," MotoGP CCO Dan Rossomondo said. But the partnership with Fox is what truly has MotoGP officials and its fans excited about the sport's trajectory. The two-year deal enables some stability for the series, along with an opportunity for new fans to be introduced to it. 'We're going to get some new people trialing our sport, and I think once you trial it, you'll love it,' Rossomondo said. MotoGP is unique amongst motor sports, as its races are only 45 minutes long. It easily fits into an hour-long TV slot, and it's perfect for fans in an era when no one can sit still for several hours. Similar to Formula 1, because it is an international series, MotoGP's races often air at crazy hours in America. On the east coast, that could mean an 8 a.m. event on Sunday mornings or 5 a.m. on the west coast. 'We don't want to just rely on the 22 races that we have this year,' Rossomondo said. The growth for MotoGP should only continue, as Liberty Media will fully take over the majority control of the series. The move will only further align MotoGP with an international flare. And in America, Trackhouse Racing, owned by Justin Marks, started a MotoGP team to branch out his team. With riders Raúl Fernández and Ai Ogura, sitting 18th and 12th in the standings, respectively, America's presence in the sport is growing. 'To me, the biggest thing that Justin brings is just a fresh eye on the sport,' Rossomondo said of Marks, who owns a Nascar team. 'It takes a long time to get acclimated inside of our paddock, and he's got a lot of things going on. But he really just brings a new perspective, and it's a fresh perspective and he's always asking the right questions.' In addition to the Fox deal, MotoGP struck another deal with a major American firm. Harley-Davidson formed a new Harley-Davidson championship series that will launch next year. The 12-race series will compete during six Grand Prix, with six to eight teams. 'We want to get more eyeballs on us in the United States, and that was the kind of combination we made,' Rossomondo said of the partnership. We're going to build out a garage for them that's going to be a unique area inside our fan zone. We're going to build out different and it's going to look different than our paddock." MotoGP will compete this weekend with the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon.
