Matthew Tkachuk celebrated winning the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive year with his father, Keith Tkachuk, and brother, Brady Tkachuk. Keith, a former NHL player, celebrated with cigars while Brady, captain of the Ottawa Senators, refrained from touching the Cup due to superstition. The brothers are featured on the cover of EA Sports' NHL 26 Deluxe Edition. They discussed their father's influence on their hockey journey, their hopes for the upcoming season, and aspirations for Olympic gold against Canada in 2026.
"Growing up, Matthew and I dreamed of playing just like our dad. Even now, his influence on how we play and prepare remains huge. It's an honor to be featured on the cover."
"I don't even know if you look at it as revenge, but it's been a long time coming since USA Hockey's been at the top of the mountain. Canada's owned the Olympics or World Cups or even the world championship."
