Monika Hoffman, Mike Hoffman’s wife, gave birth to their first child in August this year. Monika and the NHL star have been married for five years. The Hoffman family has already been embroiled in a legal battle. The dispute started when his former teammate Erik Karlsson’s wife, Melinda, accused him of cyber bullying. Hoffman and Karlsson exchanged pleas, but in the end, no criminal charges were filed against Monika. Karlsson was acquired by the San Jose Sharks, while Hoffman was acquired by the Florida Panthers.
Both sides seem to have moved on from their courtroom drama. Hoffman is now playing for the San Jose Sharks, and Karlsson is on the rise, becoming the highest paid defenseman in 2019 with a $92 million deal.

Courtroom Drama Monika Hoffman and Melinda Karlsson
Erik Karlsson’s wife, Melinda Karlsson, and Monika used to be acquaintances. Their spouses are colleagues and teammates with the Ottawa Senators. However, Melinda Karlsson filed a lawsuit against Monika in 2018 alleging cyber bullying. The Karlsson family accused Monika of sending them abusive tweets and emails. In May 2018, they also filed a protective order against Monika.
Melinda accused Monika of making several statements in which she expressed her wish for the death of her unborn child. He further said, Monika told him he was dead and her husband’s leg should be amputated to end his career. Mike and Monika both dispute the accusations, claiming they had nothing to do with the harassment. Monika also thinks that gossip website Talk Sports had a role in Melissa’s decision to go against her.
Monika then employed an IT expert, Kevin Horrocks, in a lawsuit to verify that the disparaging posts were not generated from her IP address. Horrocks’ analysis determined that the offending posts were not posted from Monika’s IP address. But the damage has already been done. The club parted ways with Hoffman and Karlsson. Since the incident, the Karlsson family has founded the “Can’t Dim My Light” foundation to generate donations and raise awareness against bullying.
