Olympic hockey hero Brady Tkachuk upset at White House for creating fake video of him mocking Canada

Two days removed from a celebratory McDonald’s feast at the White House, Team USA’s Brady Tkachuk is upset that he was featured in a video posted by the administration that dubbed his voice to depict him disparaging Canada.

The video used real footage of the Tkachuk brothers speaking after the 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025, but dubbed over Brady to make him say “They booed our national anthem, so I to come out and teach those maple syrup-eating f***s a lesson. Canada, we own you little bro.”

Even though the video is fake, it’s put Brady Tkachuk in an extremely awkward situation. Yes, he played on the U.S. Olympic team, but he’s also the captain of the Ottawa Senators, the capital of Canada — and he lives there. Now he’s speaking out, saying that the video doesn’t represent him at all, and he’s upset the White House would doctor a video that way.

“Well, it’s clearly fake, because it’s not my voice, not my lips moving. I’m not in control of any of those accounts. I know that those words would never come out of my mouth. So, I can’t do anything about it. It’s not my voice. It’s not what I was saying. I would never say that. That’s not who I am, so I guess I don’t like that video because that would never come out of my mouth, and never had that thought.”

It’s a classic case of the White House being Johnny-come-latelys to try and draft off U.S. hockey’s success without understanding the dynamics at play. Yes, the Tkachuk brothers spoke about wanting to get revenge for the 4 Nations, but that was based on Canada beating them at hockey, not political beef. In addition, numerous Team USA players compete for Canadian teams in the NHL, have Canadian friends on the roster, live in Canada, and raise their kids in Canada. There isn’t actual beef with the nation, as the White House wants people to believe, simply because the President is beefing with Canada.
