Unlike his wife Jill Wagner, the former Vancouver, British Colombia native's career beginnings started in the athletic world as a professional ice hockey player for the American Hockey League (AHL). Between 1991 and 2008, David Lemanowicz played for an array of teams, including the Kelowna Spartans, Spokane Chiefs, and Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees, per NHL. In 2009, he announced his retirement from hockey and his future in the U.S. Army Reserve. "I don't want to be totally disconnected from hockey forever," he told Spokesmen. "I still love the game, but I want to be part of something bigger — to serve and be a part of a historical narrative."
In a twist of fate, Lemanowicz's career pivot to the U.S. Army Reserve led him to reconnect with Wagner. In an interview on Hallmark's "Home & Family" episode, the "Teen Wolf" star revealed that they had a brief relationship when they were 17 and 20, respectively. "I snuck out and met him. Fell completely head over heels. We went out three times, and then I never heard from him again," Wagner explained. Lemanowicz added that the two reunited 17 years later at the army base in Afghanistan, where he was an OSI agent. "I hadn't seen her in 17 years. [...] [M]y boss that day goes, 'Hey, check out who's coming to base.' And I looked and all of a sudden I go, 'I think I know this girl,'" he said. The two reunited, and in 2016 were engaged.
