The birth comes almost two years after the Karlssons' son, Axel, arrived stillborn while Erik was captain of the Ottawa Senators.

The lawyer for the fiancee of former Ottawa Senators winger Mike Hoffman says she doesn't intend on suing the wife of the team's former captain Erik Karlsson over allegations of cyberbullying.

The Karlssons said the mission of the new charity, called "Can't Dim My Light," is to raise awareness about the effects that both bullying and cyber bullying that have on youth and to "promote inclusion and compassion."

Ottawa general manager Pierre Dorion says the Senators had to trade forward Mike Hoffman because the team's dressing room was "broken."

In an application for a peace bond filed May 4 in an Ottawa court, Melinda Karlsson alleges that Monika Caryk posted hundreds of derogatory online messages aimed at her and her husband.

Ottawa Senators captain Erik Karlsson and his wife Melinda are expressing thanks for the support they have received after the death of their son.
