Tkachuk Brothers Relive Childhood Olympic Magic at Milano Cortina 2026
Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are doing more than just playing hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics—they’re reliving a storybook journey that began twenty years ago. These brothers, now key figures for Team USA, are not only linemates on the ice but roommates in the Olympic Village, bringing a mix of fierce competitiveness and sibling camaraderie to the tournament.
Matthew and Brady’s current Olympic experience echoes their earliest memories from 2006, when they were just kids running around Torino. Their father, U.S. hockey Hall of Famer Keith Tkachuk, was competing in his final Olympic Games and the young boys roamed the village with painted faces and endless curiosity. Matthew recalls their fearless approach: sneaking through the Olympic Village, meeting athletes across disciplines and even snapping photos with young stars like Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin. Those childhood adventures, filled with excitement and even a few misadventures on the slopes, clearly left an indelible mark.

Fast forward to Milano Cortina 2026 and the Tkachuks are once again embracing every corner of the Olympic environment. In interviews with a very unexpected visitor—Sesame Street’s Elmo—they spoke about the joys and challenges of being roommates. Matthew jokingly referenced Brady’s snoring and both brothers delighted in Elmo’s playful “Brother Test,” highlighting everything from who’s more likely to call their mom to who has the best dance moves. But beneath the humor lies a serious focus: representing Team USA with skill, energy and pride. Through three preliminary games, they’ve combined for two goals and six assists, helping to propel the U.S. into the quarterfinals.
Beyond the ice, their presence in the Olympic Village reflects the broader spirit of the Games: connection, camaraderie and inspiration. They’ve built bonds with fellow athletes, celebrated the women’s national team’s pursuit of a third gold medal and embraced every moment of the Olympic atmosphere. Matthew even likened the living arrangements to a college dorm experience, where laughter, competition and shared goals coexist.
The Tkachuk brothers’ journey illustrates more than just athletic prowess; it’s a story about legacy, family and the enduring magic of the Olympics. From two young boys sneaking through Torino to elite athletes representing their country, their path embodies dedication, passion and the power of shared experiences. As Team USA prepares for the quarterfinals against the winner of Sweden and Latvia, the Tkachuks’ energy and leadership could be pivotal.
