Their father is Keith Tkachuk who was a long-time player in the NHL. Last year when the NHL had the 4-nation tournament, at the Allstar Game, when the US and Canada played in the finals, 3 fights broke out in the first 9 seconds of the game, the first two fights involved Mathew and Brady Tkachuk, each fighting a player from Canada.

I had a blast watching the Four Nations. I’m not normally a fan of fights — there are a lot of them now — but I do get a laugh out of the scraps where “everyone on the ice gets five minutes”.
That Four Nations fight was something. Maybe we’ll get a goalie fight ... my Sharks had one when they played (and beat) the Stanley Cup champs Panthers: Bob skated up to take on Alex Nedeljkovic when Ned got involved in a scrum near his goal.
