Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk and his wife, Ellie, are expecting their first child together. Tkachuk shared the exciting personal news on the Thursday, March 12 episode of the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast.
“We aren’t finding out [the sex],” he told Hannity. “We’re going old-school approach, which I wasn’t too fond of early, I will say, because it’s right there. All we have to do is look.”
While the Tkachuks have decided to keep their baby’s sex a surprise, Matt is hoping for a boy.
“I mean, at some point, would definitely have to have a boy. I’ve been explaining to [my wife], because she has just a sister, no brothers, … what youth hockey is like. And I think I’m more excited for youth hockey one day than my current hockey right now,” he told Hannity, adding, “Like, honest to God, like, I can’t wait for the road trips. I can’t wait for, like the family to come. I can’t wait for the parents to be in the hotel lobby bar at night, talking about the day and like, oh, just the little things.”
