Matthew Tkachuk Makes a Triple Gold Club Bid by Playing for the US at Worlds
The Panthers star aims to become the first American-born player in the Triple Gold Club after winning two Stanley Cups and Olympic gold.
- Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk joined Team USA for the upcoming IIHF world championships, aiming to become the first American-born player to enter hockey's exclusive "Triple Gold Club."
- Tkachuk, a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Panthers in 2024 and 2025, helped Team USA win Olympic gold in Milan this February, leaving him one title away from the elite club.
- "I'm not going over there for a vacation," Tkachuk told ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" on Thursday, emphasizing his commitment to representing the United States.
- U.S. general manager Brett Peterson, who is part of Florida's front office, expressed excitement about the roster competing for gold in Zurich and Fribourg later this month.
- While 30 players have achieved this feat—led by 11 Canadians and nine Swedes—NHL participation at worlds remains rare due to playoff schedules, injuries, and contract considerations.
