Beloved NHL Reporter Jessi Pierce and Her 3 Kids Die in Minnesota House Fire


A tragic house fire in Minnesota has claimed the lives of beloved NHL reporter Jessi Pierce, her three children, and their family dog.



Firefighters responded to a residential blaze on the 2100 block of Richard Avenue in White Bear Lake at around 5:25 a.m. on March 21, after neighbors reported flames coming through the roof and feared people were trapped inside. Upon arrival, emergency crews found the home fully engulfed.


Despite immediate fire suppression efforts, responders discovered an adult, three children, and a dog inside the house. All were pronounced dead at the scene.


The National Hockey League later confirmed that Pierce — a longtime contributor to NHL.com and co-host of the Bardown Beauties podcast — died alongside her children: Hudson, Cayden, and Avery.


In a statement, the NHL expressed deep sorrow, describing Pierce as a passionate voice in hockey who dedicated a decade to covering the sport. “Jessi loved our game and was a valued member of the NHL.com team. We will miss her terribly,” the league said.


The Minnesota Wild also paid tribute, remembering Pierce as a kind and compassionate person who cared deeply about her family and community. They highlighted her role as a dedicated ambassador for hockey throughout Minnesota.


Pierce built a respected career in sports journalism after graduating from Iowa State University, contributing to several major outlets including USA Hockey, The Athletic, and the Minnesota Hockey Journal. Known for her vibrant personality and genuine warmth, she was widely admired by colleagues and fans alike.


Tributes have continued to pour in, with fellow journalists and members of the hockey community mourning the heartbreaking loss.
