Paul Bissonnete sister Nathalie Bissonnette is a high school teacher from Quebec. Paul grew up with her in Welland, Ontario.
Nicknamed BizNasty, Paul is as famous as a Twitter star as he is for his playing accolades.
Paul Bissonnette is a retired ice hockey player from Canada and a fan of Jarome Iginla. Bissonnette played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Phoenix Coyotes in his NHL career.
Left winger Paul won gold medals for Canada in the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in 2002 and the IIHF World U18 Championship in 2003. Moreover, he also won the Calder Cup in 2015.
Paul is currently in the world of media after retirement. He is a studio analyst for NHL on TNT and a color analyst for the Arizona Coyotes. On top of that, he also co-hosts the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast for Barstool Sports alongside Ryan Whitney.
For all the humor BizNasty has, he once gently mocked his sister over her haircut in a childhood photo.

Bissonnette’s sister Nathalie Bissonnette was born on September 2, 1982. She is around three years older than the NHL star.

Happy 30th B-day to my sister @nat_bizz. You’ve come a long way from rocking the Kentucky Waterfall haircut as a kid. pic.twitter.com/L65cI0uf

Paul Bissonnette Parents
Paul Bissonnette parents are Cam Bissonnette and Yolande Bissonnette. They tied the knot on June 8, 1974.
Cam and Yol were very supportive since childhood and played a vital role in ensuring Paul’s success in ice hockey.
Biz Nasty ensured everyone knew them by giving insights into their lives and posting their photos and videos. Even more interesting is that Paul’s parents share a birthday on the same day, August 17.
Cam Bissonnette
Cam Bissonnette was a steel worker by profession. The hockey star frankly speaks about getting his extempore personality from his dad.
In an interview with NBC Sports around a decade ago, Paul and Cam talked about Biz Nasty’s tweets, shirtless photos, and the NHL. The father-son duo’s chemistry was nothing short of spectacular.
The left winger joked about his father not having a phone and unable to use Twitter. Cam gave an equally witty reply, saying he doesn’t understand half of his language in Twitter posts.
Yolande Bissonnette
Paul Bissonnette’s mom Yolande was an office administration professor at Niagara College in Southern Ontario. She taught for 30 years and spent most of her career there.
Yolande has always been there for her son, from encouraging him to play hockey to supporting him from the stands. She used to wake up at 5 a.m. and drive Paul to hockey rinks for practice sessions.
Yol was interestingly once asked about Paul’s tweets in an interview. She replied, “I am fine with his tweets most of the time. The only thing I wish he would get better at is spelling and grammar because these are the things that I taught when I was at the college”.
Paul Bissonnette Girlfriend
Paul Bissonnette is currently dating his girlfriend Kendal Abigail. She originally comes from Akron, Ohio. Paul and Kendal are in a very close relationship, sharing extreme love, care, and compassion for each other.
However, the dazzling couple prefers to keep their relationship away from the limelight. As such, she is not active on any social media platforms.
In 2020, Bissonnette was in a relationship with one gorgeous Katie Nentwick from Arizona. Thanks to Ali Boundy Photography, they were clicked together a couple of years ago in a stunning photoshoot.
They shared some glorious moments along with their dog Finnegan.
