"I know that those words would never come out of my mouth. I would never say that. That's not who I am. If you watch the video, that's not my voice and something that I never say."
"I've given absolutely everything I have as an Ottawa Senator—blood, sweat and tears. He also stated that he's honored to represent the U.S. in the Olympics."
A fabricated video circulated on TikTok appeared to show Team USA hockey player Brady Tkachuk making derogatory comments about Canadians following the men's gold medal match at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. The video falsely depicted Tkachuk boasting about American superiority and allegedly yelling about closing the northern border during a presidential phone call. Tkachuk, a 27-year-old left-winger for the Ottawa Senators, firmly denied creating or endorsing the content, stating the words and voice were not his. He emphasized his commitment to Canada through his NHL career and expressed honor in representing the United States at the Olympics. The White House acknowledged the video contained AI-generated content.
