While I was writing up a hockey post about the highest paid players in the NHL, one of the players I came across was Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars. I went onto his Instagram and noticed a beautiful blonde girl in a lot of his photos. So, naturally, in a non-creepy way, I had to find out who she was. It turns out to be Benn’s girlfriend Katie Hoaldridge, a former track athlete from the University of Texas. Jamie Benn might be the captain of the Dallas Stars, but his greatest accomplishment was finding this goddess.
Yea, I’d be smiling too.
Katie Hoaldridge attended the University of Texas where she competed on the cross-country team. Hoaldridge was three-time All-Big 12 and an Academic All-Big 12 recipient in 2012. She graduated with a degree in radio, television, and film.
Hoaldridge’s boyfriend, Jamie Benn, signed an eight-year, $76 million contract extension with Dallas that runs through the 2024-25 NHL season at an average annual value of $9.5 million, so if she plays her cards right, her degree from Texas won’t even matter.
