The Tkachuks are ice hockey royalty, with three of their family members - father Keith and his sons Brady and Matthew - making a name for themselves in the NHL. But they added a new feather to their cap, this time through the youngest sibling Taryn, albeit in field hockey.

Taryk Tkachuk completed four years of collegiate field hockey career with the University of Virginia. During her stay with the team, she became an integral part of the setup.

This year, the University of Virginia made it to the NCAA playoffs after going 14-5 in the season. In the last game, they were edged out by Northwestern University 3-2 in overtime.

On Instagram, the team made a congratulatory post thanking all the players all season. Taryn reposted it on her story section calling it the 'best four years' of her life.

"Congrats on amazing 4 years [Taryn]," Matthew wrote.

Taryn has had a pretty successfull time with the Cavaliers. She was named a member of the All-Atlanta Coast Conference Tournament Team in 2022.
