In a heartwarming and humorous moment that transcended team rivalries, both the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs came together to celebrate Brady Tkachuk after a surprise announcement from his wife lit up the locker room. Following a joint charity event, Tkachuk’s wife shared the exciting news that she is 12 weeks pregnant—with twins.
The big reveal came with a playful twist: she held up a tiny custom jersey with “Future Tkachuks x2” on the back and a sign that read, “Double trouble coming soon… and Brady still thinks diapers go on backwards!” The room erupted with laughter as players from both sides cracked jokes and offered congratulations. Tkachuk, caught completely off-guard, smiled through the teasing and even joked, “I guess I better learn fast—or get traded to a team with daycare.”
Teammates from both the Senators and the Leafs offered genuine support, showing that some moments are bigger than the game. The normally fierce Battle of Ontario paused briefly for an unforgettable celebration of life, family, and hockey brotherhood.
With twins on the way, Brady Tkachuk has a new kind of “double shift” coming—and both teams couldn’t be happier for him.
