Default Matthew Tkachuk, the hockey junkie (Athletic)

Scott Cruickshank with a spectacular article on Chucky, his obsession with hockey, and how he's carried it with him into the NHL:

Quote:
Without a doubt, Tkachuk’s fascination is legitimate. You couldn’t fake that many hours of hockey-watching, no matter how much you want to please the old man. But one question — did all the screen time actually make him better?

Keith thinks so.

“Honestly, doing that helped him understand,” he said. “I used to say all the time to Matthew and his brother, ‘Whatever you do, I want you to watch only one player — Pavel Datsyuk.’ Not only because he was highly skilled, but the way he played.”
