Diana Fox Carney, the usually low-profile wife of Prime Minister Mark Carney, not only attended the opening of a women’s-only hockey rink in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on Tuesday — she strapped on her skates and tested it out. Fox Carney appeared alongside her husband while he was on the campaign trail; however, she has largely stayed out of the spotlight since Carney became prime minister in March 2025. Fox Carney was tasked with officially dropping the puck in a matchup game between Sweden and Switzerland, said MP Mike Kelloway in a Facebook post about the event, held at The Kehoe Forum. Kelloway also posted photos from the event, including a picture of himself posing with Fox Carney alongside the university’s president, David Dingwall. Fox Carney was photographed speaking to the girls on the ice and played a scrimmage game with them, Cape Breton Post reported.
