"Life Off the Ice: At Home with Keith Tkachuk" by Michelle Burgess, from the Raising Arizona Kids Magazine, Vol 11, No 1, March 2000
It is a busy, hectic day at the north Scottsdale home of the Tkachuk family, where two phone lines are ringing, a photographer is setting up equipment in the backyard and a curly-haired, blue-eyed toddler who looks a lot like his famous father is in search of a playmate.
"Play hockey," 2-year-old Matthew says to a group of assorted adults in the room. "Play hockey, play hockey, PLAAAAAAYY HOCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!"
Clearly, Matthew knows what he wants. He gets it, too, when the photographer's son picks up a stick and heads out to the backyard with him. During the respite, mom Chantal gives a bottle to Braeden, born in September, and takes a few minutes to go over the evening plans with her husband.
Welcome to the house of Captain Coyote himself, 6-foot-2, 225-pound powerhouse left winger Keith Tkachuk. On the ice, he is a fearless blur of muscle; at home he is simply a dad, albeit a busy one.
Keith, who turns 28 at the end of this month, appears to be just as much at home talking about fatherhood as he is about hockey.
"Fatherhood is a lot harder than I thought it would be but it's great," he says in a thick Boston accent. "Having these two kids who you've helped create, seeing how Matthew is growing and talking and calling me, 'Daddy' and always wanting to play with me--it means everything to me."
At the sound of his father's voice, Matthew comes back, stick in hand searching for a more worthy opponent. After Keith assures his son he will be out soon, Matthew reluctantly heads back outside.
A teenage standout back in Boston, Keith was drafted at 18 by the Winnipeg Jets. When the Jets became the Coyotes and moved to Phoenix, he and Chantal, a 27-year-old Winnipeg native, resettled in the Valley. Keith, whose last name is Ukrainian, says having children has given him a better perspective as a hockey player. Bad games no longer get to him, he says, because he comes home "to something that is so much more important than any games."
And his wife, who calls herself "Keith's biggest fan," says that the post-game blues after a loss aren't what they used to be. "He's not hard to be around," she says. "When he has a great game I tell him about it but when he has a bad game I don't say anything. He knows it. He gets over it."
The big guy has even developed a distaste for the excessive violence that has long been a part of his sport. He's pleased that the number of fights has been steadily decreasing over the years but doesn't think fighting will, or should, disappear entirely.
"You still need some (of the fights) to keep certain players from taking cheap shots," he says. "But, because of all the kids who watch, I'm glad it's gone down."
When asked about Matthew's reaction to seeing his dad beat the stuffing out of opponents, Keith says he doesn't think his son has noticed yet.
"I'll have his mother try to explain it to him when the time comes," he says. "That'll be a tough one."
So what does this old-fashioned Catholic Irishman from a traditional hockey town think of Phoenix?
"I love this place," he says. "It is the best place to play, the best place to live and to raise kids. We're building a new house and are going to live here for the rest of our lives, no matter what happens." (Throughout the month of January, rumors of a Tkachuk trade made headlines in sports pages around the country. As Raising Arizona Kids went to press, however, no news of a trade had been confirmed).
Fans back east have nothing on those in the Valley, he says.
"The first year, nobody knew who we were or knew what to expect when the NHL came to town but the whole Valley has embraced us. Coyotes hockey has become huge. It's just unbelievable.
"We want to return the favor. We want to play well, to get out of the first round of the playoffs this year. We'd like to get home ice and do some damage."
The advantages of Tkachuk's lifestyle are obvious: money, fame and adoration from fans, plus the bonus of playing hockey for a living. But there is a downside.
The Coyotes have 41 road games each season, resulting in an estimated 80 days a year that Keith is away from this family. And he's had to cope with the lack of privacy common to all successful sports figures.
"It's not until you've lived the life that you see the sacrifices," says Chantal, a down-to-earth, natural beauty who recently celebrated her third wedding anniversary with Keith.
Keith agrees.
"When I take Matthew out to play I want to be his daddy, not Keith Tkachuk the hockey player," he says. "People don't think about us having lives off the ice but we go through all of the normal things people go through. You have to play hockey and your kid's home sick with your wife. (Parenting) is a 365-day-a-year job."
Still, both Tkachuks say they wouldn't trade lives with anyone.
Growing up "never in a million years" did she imagine the life she leads today, Chantal says.
"I feel very fortunate that I met such a great guy and have 2 beautiful sons," she says.
"Did I ever picture myself living in a place as wonderful as Arizona? No way. I feel very, very lucky. I count my blessings every day."
His life is "far more than I expected," Keith says. "I've got a good life. I'm living in a great city, playing the game I love to play and getting paid to do it. I have the best little boys in the world and the best wife. This is it. This is what it's all about."

August 17, 2024 Scottsdale AZ Dear little Mosey: ( Little Mo ) Although you are only 9 months old I thought I would write to let you know what I’m up to. I figured I’d do this because I may be too old to remember exactly why I did this or even what I did. I have found it’s helpful and more accurate if I write things down as I go. It may be interesting to know a little bit about what people were like in other parts of the world and what the world looks like from a bicycle.
I am 66 years old now and here is what I look like. As I get older I find that I become less willing to go on an adventure. This trip will hopefully keep me mentally and physically flexible. I have no solid plan
You are about 9 months old now and this is what you look like. It was you first Kayak trip. I have been traveling up to see you at your house in Rigby Idaho. One of the projects that your mom and dad and I are working on is restoring an 1870’s Stone Granary. Eventually we will restore the log cabin for the same thing. Both are near the 1928 farm house you grew up in. You are surrounded by wheat fields and the trumpeter swans spend their winters there.
This will provide a nice place for interesting people to stay. You will get to know people from all over the world who will stop by to have dinner and visit. Here is one of your first rides when you were about six months old. Your dad made you a rain poncho out of a grocery bag. I thought it was cool.
I am getting ready to go on a bike trip that retraces the route of Lt. Colonel Daryle Stuckey. He was my father in law and the father of Erika, your moms stepmother. That would make him your great step grandfather. He was a young man living on a farm near the the very small town of Upper Sandusky Ohio when WWII began. Wars are complicated and I’m not sure I understand them but he like many young men were called to fight for their country. He became a B-17 bomber pilot in WWII and was 2nd Lieutenant. He was about 21 years old and was the pilot of a crew of nine other men. His job was to fly missions to bomb a country we were at war with. Each journey to the other country was called a mission. They were very dangerous so they made a rule that if you made it to 25 you could go home. As the war went on they ran low on experienced pilots. So they changed the rule to 30 missions. He went down on his 28th mission and was captured by the Germans. Our enemies at the time. He became a prisoner of war POW.
I am going to retrace his last mission on my bike. The bikes name is Curiouser. I thought it was a good name. I’ll try to explain where it came from later.
This is what his aircraft looked like.
Becoming an airman and pilot in WWII required that you pass many test. To be captain was even harder. I am going to end this letter for now but I will write again soon Love Morris ( Big Mo )
PS
I apologize for errors in punctuation and grammar. I don’t consider myself a great writer. I thought it was best to get this down now rather than wait until I become a great writer and trying to send it then. It may be a very long time or never. Hopefully I won’t get in trouble for being a bad example.

46, 61 and 67 for the 30s ask meme!
46. What kind of stuff do you keep on the door of your refrigerator?
I’m kind of a minimalist (except when it comes to hyperfixation merch) so it’s actually kind of spare atm but I do have a couple magnets from my/our travels and there is a small note on the side with the part # for the air filters for the A/C whenever I have to order those to replace. lol.
Do you have a favorite brunch spot?
I have a couple lol. I typically do brunch about once a month with my friends and we usually change it up and go to new places each time but my favs so far are Postino’s, Snooze and a couple places in Old Town Scottsdale: The Herb Box and Farm and Craft.
67. Do you keep any stuffed animals on your bed?
Do Leon plushies count? If so, yes. 😂
thanks. Cerul!

NEGATIVE TRAITS: stoic, extravagant, suspicious.
NEIGHBOURHOOD: aurora bay drive (but also constantly has a room checked out at the hotel).

PART OF: @aurorabayaesthetic.
BABY BIO.
tw. mention of drug use / car crash + sibling death / infidelity + divorce / miscarriage / brief stalking mention.
born in calabasas, los angeles.
1 of 2, born with a diamond spoon firmly in her mouth to parents who belonged to a vast hotelier dynasty, bradley and her older (by three minutes) twin brother beau never had to want for anything.
grew up in the spotlight (elijah banner was naturally known from being one of fortune 500s business owners) being juggled between boardrooms and nannies until she was old enough to be shipped off to the best boarding school the US had to offer.
unlike her twin, bradley managed to stay on the straight and narrow, working hard, making friends (natural born leader), and not letting the name that followed her weigh her down with expectations.
beau however, struggling between who were real friends and who wanted something took to a lifestyle of partying, sneaking out of school, getting high, getting into fights, and stealing their fathers stupidly fast cars.
it was after the latest fight about college applications and one of those stupidly fast cars that had the family called to the ER one night, breaking news reporting that beau banner had died after crashing through a bridge at 143 mph.
the banners set up a charity in the name of their son, making beau the poster child and bradley the presenter. she spent the next seven months counting down the days until she went to college so she could escape the circus.
attended yale (like the generations of banners before her), studying economics and political science.
got her MBA from harvard.
after graduation she had zero choice in the fact she'd take a seat at the banner table, joining the family business and making her mark on the hotelier world as a member of the board.
at the age of twenty five, and on the anniversary of beaus death (14th march), bradley entered her parents house and (unbeknown to them) overheard a drunken argument about how her father still had a son and couldn't comprehend the loss her mother felt. even though listening in on her parents was not something she made habit of, she proceeded to listen in on how "thats not my son, not really" transcended into a twenty seven year old half-sibling that bradley previously had no knowledge of.
elijah banner had managed to knock up the receptionist at one of the hotels whilst on a golf trip in aurora bay and then skipped out on that responsibility before baby trapping his wife with twins before she found out.
bradley took that as an opportunity to visit aurora bay. seeking the sibling that could perhaps heal just a tiny bit of pain she still constantly felt about beau.
whilst in aurora bay, she met santiago de leon, marrying him somewhat swiftly (news that indeed, shocked anyone that kept up with her). some even calling it a late stage rebellion. in reality, she just needed someone in her corner without banner drama and an excuse other than blue to stay.
spent the next four years of her marriage private jetting between boardrooms in LA and her home in aurora bay, juggling a husband and a career, whilst getting to know her new sibling.
the marriage ended when she found out santiago was cheating on her. divorce papers were served before he'd even been given the opportunity to explain himself.
it was six weeks into the divorce that bradley realised she had skipped her period twice, and honestly, she'd claim still couldn't tell you if the father was her ex-husband or the hockey player she crawled under to get over him (even if those dates don't add up). either way, she quickly decided that maybe this was the one good thing to come out of her marriage until it wasn't — a routine scan showed no sign of a fetal heartbeat and she found she'd lost the child that had quickly become her reason to get up in the morning.
spent the next twelve months being photographed at various locations around the globe on a constant cycle of vacationing, working, dating anyone whose anyone and playing the life of a socialite.
finally returned to aurora bay 18 months ago, she still spends a large amount of time on flights and sitting in boardrooms, but home is her mansion in aurora bay drive, and she always finds herself back there, blue feels more like family than any of the banners do but there’s still a missing spot from where her extended de leons family used to sit.
FACTS.
is a household name in the same way kim kardashian is. your grandma has probably heard of her (even if she couldn’t pick her out of a lineup).
elijah banner (bradleys father) is the CEO of the banner group, bradley is the COO.
the banners own 450+ hotels across six continents (think the hiltons!) and don't generally have day-to-day dealings with any of them, but bradley likes to show her face at seascape to review renovations on the 7th floor seeing as she's so close by.
was once on the cover of playboy.
lives alone (minus ellis shipley and lennon clarke, her butler and her chef) but has a whole other host of staff in and out throughout the day. truly doesn't need to lift a finger in the sense of running her home.
has several other properties dotted around due to her travel needs.
has a private jet & has been subject to one of those twitter accounts following its every move. refuses to comment on her travel arrangements but feels guilt about her global footprint & tries to offset this feeling by donating (very generously) to sustainability & reforestation projects.
was on forbes 30 under 30.
is on forbes billionaire rich list (her first entry was in 2022) with an estimated net worth of 1.3 billion usd. this is a mix of her banner worth & her personal business deals (brand deals / buying into businesses as a partner / modelling for fashion houses, etc) outside of the banner dynasty.
has an AMEX centurion card (american express black card).
can play the piano.
spends every vacation visiting a new country.
can speak several languages fluently.
has been on the cover of vogue seven times, three for amercan vogue, four international.
has been on various other magazine covers and has a whole wall of them framed in her home office (all except her people magazine wedding day cover, which is buried deep in storage somewhere.)
theres a 98% chance that she can get you tickets to anything, but the reality that she actually will is much lower.
aside from hotels, her family owns shares in an indy 500 team and is currently looking into buying into formula 2, the banners sponsor the mercedes f1 team and have for the past ten years. as well as various other business ventures.
has a custom made monopoly board that is banner inspired, but is absolutely terrible at monopoly. the dice never seem to roll in her favour.
has 327.4 million followers on instagram (@bradleybanner).
has a finster for her actual friends (@bannersryan).
has been known to use the name ryan when she doesn't want to be recognised (how well that works out depends on how well the person she's using it on knows what she looks like).
rumour is she's writing a book about her life.
had a legit stalker in 2022 and has only just relaxed her security.
has been to the MET gala six times, 2024 will be her seventh.
was in a submergence (xaviers band) music video.
hates hates hates (!!) spiders.
is a democrat (and has donated a lot of money to presidential campaigns).
regularly donates blood (and documents it on social media in hopes of influencing others to do the same).
was announced as brand ambassador for balmain 2024.
CONNECTIONS.
ex-wife of @santiagodeleons.
old-friend of @aeris-flores.
bestie & frequent deuxmoi blind-item feature with @xaviermattthews.
employer of @maverick-liu (he's her personal assistant).
dated @pxtrickbalfe after her marriage ended.
friends with @vanessagable, @cavenshh, @delilahcarreno, @auggievillanueva, @firefighterrojas, @thelizaxlevin, @dancingdanvers, @connievanderbilt.
fired (or at least shipley fired) @cricketcampbell for accidentally posting her address in a tiktok video.
was-aunt (via her marriage to santiago) to @maura-cortes.
its sort-of-awkward on friend(ly) terms with @benj-hyun (her ex-husbands best friend).
@mackmontgomery, the 'soulmate' super fan — she doesn't know he exists.
SPECIFIC WANTED CONNECTIONS.
anyone within her staff circle, bradley has a ton of staff bound by NDAs: hair-stylist, make-up artist, wardrobe stylist, personal assistant, security, maid, chef, social media manager (basically anyone who could work for her) — bradley treats her staff with respect / treats them like extended family but would be quick to dismiss anyone who puts her reputation / privacy at risk.
best friend, someone who just gets her / no judgement, easy vibes.
anyone in her inner circle: aka people who grew up under similar circumstances (rich / famous / affluent families — all of the above).
someone she attempted to date since her ex-husband, lasted a couple of months before fizzing out for whatever reason tbd. (after her divorce she's sworn off dating a normie — would need to be rich, with good social standing / reputation / likes the finer things in life / understands her world.)
people she dated before her ex-husband that didnt work out for whatever reason (she’s from calabasas LA, so would require some timeline matching) teens through to young adult.
anyone who works at seascape. (bradley doesnt involve herself in day-to-day running of the hotel, but she is present at the hotel sometimes — has a room constantly booked out).
that one wild fan that seems to be everywhere and is very sweet — doesn't quite overstep the boundary, but teeters close.
the hater! honestly, she hasn't done anything but they just don't like her because "why is she famous".
GENERAL WANTED CONNECTIONS.
(brief because they’re just suggestions & i’m certainly open to anything not here!!)
PLATONIC / FRIENDLY.
squad (pls give her a wolf pack!) / ride or die / best friends / sibling like friends / unlikely friends / new friends / friends from LA.
ROMANTIC.
