Political Views
Kurt identifies as a libertarian. He and Goldie have different political beliefs. In 1996, he talked to the Toronto Sun about it. Even though he was raised a Republican, he became a libertarian. Apparently, he did this because he thought that there were not many differences between Republicans and Democrats.
Political Views
Relocation
Kurt and Goldie chose to move to Vancouver, British Columbia with Boston in the hopes of advancing his hockey career. Wyatt had played the sport ever since he was little. They used to be based in California, which was not the place for a budding hockey player!
