Keith Tkachuk knows a thing or two about scoring big goals.
The former NHLer was in attendance Sunday to watch his son score twice in the Memorial Cup final, including the game-winner in overtime for the London Knights. The two embraced on the ice after the game, resulting in a whole lot of feelings.
Matthew, who culminated his final season before going pro in the best possible way, told NHL.com's Aaron Vickers that he was playing on a sprained ankle since the OHL final.
"You can't give up on guys that battle all year for you," Matthew said.
Like father, like son.
