Collin Gibbles is a recent addition to the world of parenting after his first child was born following the start of the SHL's 54th season. Gibbles had only recently announced the pregnancy of his wife Anna Gibbles(nee Kendrick) during the offseason, as the couple had done an excellent job of hiding the news from the public. Gordon William Gibbles was brought into the world during a long 2 week home stint for the Minnesota Chiefs where Gibbles was able to support his wife but still play his on ice role. Gibbles scoring production notably jumped during this time as he seemed to play with a new passion. Gibbles was not available for post game interviews as he reportedly left the arena after games to spend time in the hospital with his wife and child. Press were able to acquire the first family photo shortly before the end of the season as Gibble's family attended the last home game for the Chiefs. Gibbles has stated that he hopes one day to see his child play in the SHL.
