Matthew Tkachuk and the Florida Panthers won their first Stanley Cup. Following the win, he was granted the traditional honor of spending a day with the Stanley Cup.

Matthew started his day with the trophy by taking it to lunch at Grassi’s Ristorante, a local Italian eatery in Missouri. After a delightful meal, he brought the Cup to his family's backyard. There, Matthew and his father, Keith Tkachuk, a former St. Louis Blues great, helped his sister Taryn enjoy a drink from the Stanley Cup.

Taryn Tkachuk, a junior field hockey star for the Virginia Cavaliers, shared the video in her Instagram story. It was later shared by B/R Open Ice on X. The video was captioned,

"Matthew Tkachuk had his day with the Cup on Wednesday. He and Keith were feeding Taryn some Stanley refreshments."

Taryn is a junior striker from St. Louis, Missouri. Playing for the Virginia Cavaliers, Taryn has earned multiple Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors.

Her prowess in field hockey mirrors the exceptional skill her brothers, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, display on the ice. Brady, a star defenseman for the Ottawa Senators, along with Matthew and his sister have inherited the affinity for sports from their father.
