2:50Now PlayingTeam USA opened the 2026 Winter Olympics men’s hockey tournament with a 5–1 win over Latvia — and one of the biggest moments came from the Tkachuk brothers.
In their first Olympic game together, Matthew Tkachuk set up younger brother Brady Tkachuk for Team USA’s opening goal, creating a memorable family moment on the Olympic stage. After the game, the brothers spoke about what it meant to share that moment together, representing the United States, and experiencing the Olympics for the first time as teammates.
The two NHL stars discuss the play that led to the goal, soaking in their first Olympic memories, life inside the Olympic Village, and the experience of competing alongside athletes from across Team USA. They also share what it means to hear support from back home in St. Louis and how they’re balancing enjoying the moment with the ultimate goal of winning Olympic gold.
The Tkachuk brothers are part of a Team USA roster featuring NHL players at the Olympics for the first time in over a decade, and their chemistry was on full display in the opening win. As Team USA continues group play, Brady and Matthew say they’re focused on building momentum while embracing a once-in-a-lifetime Olympic experience together.
