Inside the sibling matchup between Brady and Matthew Tkachuk and their all-star sister, Taryn

According to Chantal, Matthew and Brady were “always, always, always” competing hard in things roller hockey, basketball and even a made-up game called “trampoline football” that just consisted of the siblings throwing a football and body checking each other on the trampoline in their backyard.

“It was almost a joke in our family,” she said. “You know, they’d go out and play roller hockey and we’d be like, ‘OK how many minutes until they come in and somebody is complaining or fighting?’ And sure enough, somebody would come in complaining, and then they’d be back out five minutes later playing again. They just always were each other’s playmates and just competed all the time.”

When asked if there was one particular fight, or moment that stood out, Chantal joked that there were too many to just pick one.

“Oh god, it happened kind of regularly,” she said laughing. “I mean, I’ve replaced windows from hockey pucks. I’ve had to patch walls from mini-stick games that got a little physical with body checking each other into the walls. So there’s not really one that stands out because it was sort of the way they were all along. They just played hard and had fun.

“They always played mini-sticks in the wives lounge too,” she added. “I think the other wives with no kids thought I was crazy because (the boys) would usually end up rolling around the floor tackling one another.”

Brady remembers the brotherly fights fondly.

“Oh yeah, there were a bunch of fights she had to break up or we’d come in the house flying around on our rollerblades trying to get at one another or me trying to get away,” he said with a laugh. “It’s a lot of good memories, and I think it made us both who we are today.”

“It’s hard not to be everywhere you want to be at the time, but the boys understand that their sister’s stuff is important too, and this is a big tournament for her this weekend,” Chantal said on the phone from Tampa. “They keep checking in. We have a family group text chat and they always want the updates on how she is doing.”

“I am Taryn’s biggest fan,” Brady said. “She recently committed (NCAA Division I) to play for (University of Virginia) and we are all super happy for her.”

Brady and Taryn are especially close because when Matthew left the house to join the U.S. National Development Program, they only had each other.

“They’ve got a cute, sweet bond,” Chantal said. “But both the boys are really supportive, and she knows it and I think that makes her feel pretty special.”

Brady and Matthew have become well known for being exactly like their dad on the ice. And well, Taryn isn’t too different. In some of her highlight videos, you can see her skill, physicality and knack for “accidentally” running into opposing goalies.

“She’s a Tkachuk,” Brady said with a big grin.

It’s not hard to see where she gets it from either. When Brady and Matthew were competing in the driveway or body checking each other on the trampoline, Taryn was often right in the thick of it with them. If she wanted to play, she had to compete hard. And that’s followed her onto the field, just like it followed her brothers on the ice.

maria (mari-AH, not mari-UH) maluluan. nineteen. filipina. fresh out the plane from the motherland of philippines; luan’s a transfer from dlsu who came over to uconn as a means of getting herself out there—don’t know how she’s going to do that though. she’s… not even out-out yet (as a lesbian). back in dlsu she was a high honors/highest honor student—dean lister STREAK, actually— but lowkey knowing philippines’ curriculum? she never slept. a total overachiever. now she’s just a political science major (sociology minor) with a little too much knowledge on mathematics because of how drilled into her it was while she was but a little baby. the meanest resting bitch face but is actually just awkward and unable to speak without stuttering. she’s bad at tones—both watching hers, and reading others’ own. she’s still getting used to america (her suitcase isn’t fully unpacked yet… don’t even get started on her dorm…) but she’s ready to start off the new semester with a bang! maybe. most of the time. she’s HERE, okay. that’s all that should matter. more info about her in tags, but tl;dr she’s a disaster.

Currently spelling the name “Jamie” wrong 95% of the time because I’m trying to talk about both Jaime Lannister and Jamie Tartt and they don’t spell their names the same way.

hey hypothetically speaking do you think if we all signed a big enough petition we could persuade staff to remove nazztyjocks' blaze privileges? because apparently blocking someone only hides their own posts and doesn't prevent them from continuing to flood everyone's timelines with hockey player yaoi posts that they blaze from other blogs

Poor Nagisa is comatose, it looks like a medical emergency, I think he needs a hospital or a medical professional to look at him.

Also other than Masaru, who would win in a race?
