One of the best young players in the National Hockey League (NHL), Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk is one of a kind both on and off the ice. In the third year of his career the left winger took a huge step forward building on his success in 2020, ranking among the best in the NHL in a number of stats. His tough physical play, attitude and leadership at such a young age has shown he has the potential to be among the NHL’s elite. Tkachuk has relished the opportunity to be a leader on a young team, and never shies away from tough situations and big moments whether he’s on the ice or in the locker room. In 2022 the hockey world watched as Tkachuk did everything and anything to celebrate his brother Matthew’s success in the Calgary Flames home playoff matchups, and Budweiser raced to sponsor the young hockey star as a result.
Born in Scottsdale, Arizona, Tkachuk is the son of NHL power forward Keith Tkachuk and grew up in St Louis while his father played for the Blues. Before turning professional he earned All-Hockey East Rookie Team honors playing for the Boston University Terriers. The young hockey phenomenon took no time at all making his mark in the League after he was drafted 4th overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2018 NHL Draft, and in October 2021 the Senators named him as their 10th captain.
