———————————————————

Matthew knew what type of woman he had on his hands from the day one. You were sweet, kindhearted and loving. You were the girl of his dreams and his family absolutely adored you. After all, you did have a temper that only a Tkachuk could love. You were a perfect match for Matthew.

On the other hand, you were a force to be reckoned with. If someone even dared to test your gangster you would give them exactly what they dished out. You were a very protective person, especially when it came to Matthew, or the people that you loved. You were not afraid to get your hands dirty if need be. And today was not the day for someone to want to get on your bad side.

Moving from Calgary to Florida was a huge transition for you and Matthew. But, the both of you knew as long as you had each other everything would be fine. Sadly, ever since you’ve gotten settled in the state it seems like the chaos had not stopped. From unpack, adjusting schedules, getting settled at work, time difference, dealing with new people, and Matthew traveling, it was overwhelming. Now, your main concern was making it through family media day.

Today was the first family day for Matthew with his new team. Since you are now Matthew‘s wife, that ment your day would be filled with nonstop interviews from different local media outlets.For the most part things went smooth, until your last interview with a reporter from a hockey podcast you were not familiar with.

You made your way to your designated interview room hoping to be joined by your husband. As you took your seat ,you were informed it was a solo interview due to Matthew needing to meet with the NHL Network. Then a older blonde women entered the room.

•“Mrs. Tkachuk! it is so nice to meet you.” She said with a smile.

• “Hello it’s nice to meet you too” You reply happily.

• “You are even more beautiful in person.” She said now shaking your hand.

•“I’m Carla. Media Manager for the Panthers and I wanted to introduce you to your interviewer today.” She continued.

Before you could even get a word in, a much younger brunette entered the room.

•“You’re the new WAG I need to interview right?” The brunette said coldly.

•“Yeah that is me, and my name is (y\n) btw.” You replied confused.

•“Not important we are here about Matthew anyway.” She replied with an eye roll

•“Matthew will not be joining us for this interview.” Carla introjected.

• “Great! Another interview with an air head.” The brunette muttered under her breath.

• “Excuse me?” You replied taken back.

• “ Well! I will leave y’all to it!” Carla said quickly before leaving the room.

• “This is going to be fun!” You said to yourself sarcastically.

You then made your way over to your designated seat. The camera crew made sure that your mic was on,and that the lighting was working for you. Once everything was good the interview started.

•“ 3.2.1… Action! ” The camera man counted down.

• “ Welcome back to the Hockey Babes Podcast! I am Brianna! Today I am joined with the new Mrs. Matthew Tkachuk!” The brown haired reporter said enthusiastically.

• “Oh so you have a name? Brianna is it?” You said with a smile.

• “Yes! That is me.” She replied with a hair flip.

• “But anyway! Let’s get into the questions shall we?” Briana said sharply.

• “ We shall.” You replied trying to play nice.

• “So (y/n) what is it like marrying into the most hated NHL family?” Brianna said with a smile.

•“ Excuse me? Hate is a strong word don’t you think?” You replied taken back.

• “ Well it’s not like you married into a truly classy family like the Nylander’s. The Tkachuk’s do have a reputation for being white trash.” She said with a laugh.

“Is this bitch for real?” You thought to yourself. What type of interviewer asks a question like that. You were trying so hard to keep your patience. Luckily, It was the last interview of the day. All you needed to do was get through this last thing, then you were back with your loving husband. You continued to answer the question as calmly as possible.

• “ I do understand that my husbands family has a reputation for playing rough. But, white trash is the last thing that they are. Also, if you were good at your job you would know what WE Tkachuk’s are pretty close to the Nylander’s . My husband was drafted the same year as Alex. Also, his former team mate Auston Matthews now plays on the same line and team as William. So, I am pretty sure if we weren’t classy we wouldn’t be as close as we are.” You said confidently.

•“ You keep telling yourself that.” She replied laughing it off

• “So how did you and Matthew meet exactly?” Brianna continued with a snarky grin.

• “It was after he was drafted. I work with nonprofit organizations with the goal to make sports accessible to everyone. I have worked with Nike, Adidas, Reebok, and Dicks Sporting Goods. I met Matthew when the Calgary Flames volunteered to work with at risk kids. I have been in love with him ever since.” You replied reminiscing on the very moment you knew Matt was the one. 

•“ How cute! Got to make up for the lack of talent he has somehow. Glad to see you have a working brain as well!” she said light heartedly.

•“ What do you mean by that?” You replied getting angrier by the second.

•“ I mean you are with the less successful brother. Brady is the youngest captain in the NHL. And tell me what exactly Matthew has accomplished?” She remarked doubling down on her rude comments.

“ You know what? I think this interview is over!” You said angrily as you stood to take off your mic.

“Aww…Did I make the Air Head mad?” Brianna said antagonizing you.

Before you could think, you lunged at her your fist connecting with her face. You grabbed her hair and pulled her out of her seat. You were full on twirling on this hoe.

• “YOU WANNA TALK SHIT LIKE A BITCH THEN IMMA DOG WALK YOU LIKE ONE!” you said dragging her across the floor.

• “ RIGHT BITCH! WRONG IDEA! DON’T EVER TRY TO BAD MOUTH MY FAMILY HOE!” You screamed as security and Matthew proceed to try a pull you two apart.

•“ Y/N IT’S OKAY! IT IS OKAY! YOU GOT HER! IT’S OKAY” you heard Matthew yell as he held you back from going at her again.

As Security dealt with Brianna, Matthew walked you to the medical room. You took a seat on the patient table. Matthew tried to calm you down as best as he could. You had a few scratches, so Matthew decided to find some things to clean you up. When you were calm enough, Matthew asked you what exactly happened.

•“ Baby what happened? Are you okay?” Matthew asked you wrapping his arms around you.

•“ NO! I am not okay! I just spent the last 45 minutes listening to my family be bad mouthed by a random podcast bitch.” You said brokenhearted.

• “ WHAT!” Matthew replied now upset at what he was hearing.

• “ YES! That bitch was talking about how the Tkachuk’s are white trash. How you are not successful cause you’re not a captain yet! And a bunch of other shit about my intelligence!” You told Matthew getting upset again.

• “ That is fucked up! I’ll take care of whatever bullshit comes next okay?You don’t have to worry about that. But,I want to make sure you are okay?” Matthew said concerned.

• “Well I just whooped her ass, so I guess I’m good” you said brushing your tears away.

• “ You did get her pretty good babe. Maybe you are a Tkachuk after all. I should take a few fights lessons from you. ” Matthew said cracking a grin.

• “ Matthew shut up!” You replied rolling your eyes.

• “ What? All I’m saying is that my father would definitely be proud of you.” Matthew replied causing you to crack a little smile.

• “ You think?” You asked looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

• “ I know for sure my little hot head.” Matthew continued leaning into kiss your forehead.

• “ Now you lay back and rest I’m going to sort this all out. Then we will be on our way home.” Matthew added giving you another forehead kiss.

• “ You don’t think I’ll have to deal with the police right?” You questioned him before he left the room.

• “ No way! The most that will happen is needing to pay a fine. Also you know I have a Fight Fine Fund. Triple F for short .” Matthew reassured you with a slight laugh.

• “It is the NHL after all.” You said laying your head down on the padded table.

Matthew managed to sort some things out for you. The most you had to pay was a fine of 8,000 bucks. This was a standard financial investment for Matthew. The man had 100k stocked for fines he might rack up during the season. Brianna on the other hand, was prohibited to conduct any future interviews with the Panthers. In the end, never mess with a woman who is in love with a man like Matthew Tkachuk. You will end up with your ass beat.

PS: I HOPE THIS DOSE YOUR REQUEST JUSTICE 😘💪

okay so i've heard most of those rumours (and have, unfortunately, seen the strome video lol) but what's the tea on the banging the roommate stuff and the kate/seguin fangirl to fiancee story ? (ps love ur account pls never change)

thanks, babe for the compliment

Anyway, rumors say that there are a couple of NHL players who used to have or still have male roommates, with whom they also used to sleep or still sleep. Most of the time the roommates are pretty low-key guys, so no, it's not about them banging their NHL teammates during the rookie years when the guys tend to live together (or at least the rumors, I have in mind, are not talking about those cases, which I am pretty sure happen as well).

About Kate... Once again, I am repeating that it's all Tumblr rumor, but here you go:

Their entire relationship is just weird, or at least it seems like that from basically everything they themselves put out or the people around them reveal to the public.

Tyler is not a marriage type of guy, you can say whatever you want, but he is still stuck in his early twenties, that Boston - get drunk with Marchand and fuck everyone I can - era, and wants to live and experience everything and everyone while he is still somewhat attractive, but the league and public are pushing him into settling down and being an example of a mature guy (he isn't and probably never will be) cause he is 31. Pair that pressure of having to find someone to marry and have a family with to please the people who want you to be a responsible adult with a girl like Kate who is his fangirl and who would do anything to be with him and there you have the most PR-y cringe no chemistry relationship I have seen.

Tyler is using her and she clearly hasn't sobered up from her teenage dream and can't see her own worth or care about her own dignity because of that.

Another hot take that I find played out is the friends with benefits trope in the words of Britney Spears Work B*tch (not you) lol but yeah it’s tiresome to same plot.

Like come on now where is the creativity! Like it’s 2024! women own business, run beauty brands, clothing lines, are successful artists, hold political offices, are dominating the music industry, are successful professional athletes,we are teachers, we are engineers, we are scientist, Activist, news anchors, you name it we are breaking barriers and all we can get is college hookup ups and WAG fanfics LIKE REALLY 😭

[thenhlteaissuperhot]

has WAG culture always been a thing or is more of a recent thing that’s on the rise?

Well, WAG culture always resonated among a certain group of people, however, the true rise of it to the state it currently is at, has started only when social media took over and one could truly build their entire life and career on the fact that they are a WAG or simply someone that is followed by a professional athlete - in our case, an NHL player.

The players dated models, cheated every other week, went for blondes, and all that stuff, which is a notorious part of the culture, even back then. Just look at all the cheesy photoshoots guys like Ovechkin had with a couple of random models or that one photo of sleeping Jagr a girl has taken as proof that they have really slept together - that would probably never happen today because it is too straightforward of a way of saying that you have a game other guys are envious of, but you get the point.

Platforms like Instagram or most recently TikTok have made it notably easy to make a living out of being pretty and also make handy connections because of it. At this point, you can't go on social media without encountering at least a few of those people on your fyp and that has made dating or just hooking up much easier for the players because they see those models and influencers too and in 90% of cases, those girls don't block them when the players reach out in an effort to get closer, whether just for one or two fun nights or with the hopes of starting an actual relationship.

You can't blame those girls for going for the relationship and promoting it on their social media, they get big bucks and follow out of it because even an athlete is a celebrity, whose private life is scrutinized by fans and media. Nowadays there are literal pages dedicated to the WAGs of certain teams, which are reposting every bit of content the girls are posting, and it's not just the case of the NHL, it's like that in every single sport.

So yes, in conclusion, the WAG culture has experienced a drastic rise in popularity with the establishment of social media and it is continuing to grow.

some of the nhl fandom need to address their misogyny, especially towards players' wives. im not saying you have to love them or adore them, but the way that some of you talk about them is downright disgusting. why is it when you love a certain player, you think its fine to make misogynistic comments to their wives or girlfriends or about them? "theyre controlling them" "they deserve better" "they--" you don't know them!!!!! your favorite athlete isnt going to pick you!!!!!
