St. Louis holds a special place in the hearts of Matthew and Brady Tkachuk.
The sons of former NHL star Keith Tkachuk have made their own impact on the NHL for the Calgary Flames and Ottawa Senators, earning their way to the 2020 NHL All-Star Weekend taking place in the city where their father made a name for himself.
Keith was drafted by and played for the Winnipeg Jets — later the Phoenix Coyotes after relocation — for a total of 10 years before being dealt to the St. Louis Blues at the 2001 trade deadline.
Now a decade after their father played his final NHL game, the Tkachuk boys will be taking part in the all-star events in the very building they grew up in.
