Tkachuk Brothers Debut 'Wingmen,' a Weekly 'No Filter' NHL Podcast

Launching during rehab, the Wave-produced show tests hockey’s appetite for truly candid player voices.

Overview

  • Matthew and Brady Tkachuk announced the show on The Pat McAfee Show on Nov. 12, with the first episode released on Nov. 13.
  • Produced by Wave Sports & Entertainment, the podcast follows the successful New Heights model popularized by Jason and Travis Kelce.
  • The series is billed as “two brothers, one mic, absolutely no filter,” blending on-ice insight with irreverent off-ice banter seen in preview clips.
  • Episodes are slated to run weekly during the NHL season as Matthew rehabs a torn adductor and sports hernia and Brady recovers from thumb surgery.
  • The brothers frame the project as a way to grow the game and reach beyond core fans, while observers question whether the unfiltered tone will hold once they return and ramp up for the Olympics.
