When speaking about his parents, Jim and Janet, Ben Hutton is quick to express his gratitude for their unwavering support. He acknowledges not only the time and effort they invested in furthering his hockey career but also in shaping him as a person.
“My dad, he gets along with anyone,” Ben reflects. “He’s a jolly, happy-go-lucky guy, very laid-back. I think I get a lot of my personality traits from him.”
“But at the same time, my mom is so caring, the type of person who would do anything to help anyone. She calls my buddies back home her ‘summer kids’ because she’s always taking care of them. My parents have always taken care of me too.”
