— A glimpse at Frankie Ducharme, former QMJHL star
and partner to VHLM draftee Lachlan Summers
SAN DIEGO — VHLM rising star Lachlan Summers is ready to start his ring collection in preparation for his eventual journey to a championship— by getting married.
Confirmed by photos shared on the goaltender’s Instagram account, he has tied the knot with longtime partner, François “Frankie” Ducharme, a former QMJHL player from Sorel-Tracy. The San Diego Marlins also shared this exciting news on their social media.
Their wedding came five months after Ducharme had initially popped the question to Summers, and the two held a small and private but lively ceremony at Sunset Cliffs where only their closest friends and family had attended. Both men can be seen donning stunning tuxedos with the California waves acting as their backdrop in photos posted online.
Ducharme had reportedly just arrived in the city of San Diego after the conclusion of the Junior Showcase Tournament, prepared to stand by his husband’s side as the VHLM draft looms ahead. He, along with the rest of their loved ones, are highly anticipating hearing Summers’ name announced on draft day, and claims he knows the Aussie has what it takes to dominate in the VHLM and beyond.
Multiple sources have also stated that after the netminder’s hockey-playing days are over, he will be taking Ducharme’s last name.
Are these two the new hockey power couple of the century? Stay tuned.
