Earlier this week, Florida Panthers alternate captain Matthew Tkachuk tied the knot with longtime partner Ellie Connell in a church ceremony. Ellie and Matthew have been engaged since last year.
Matthew wore a classic black tuxedo on the occasion, while Ellie stunned in a white strapless gown with a long veil. A clip from the post-wedding party posted by a fan on X showed Matthew’s dad, former NHL player Keith Tkachuk, being lifted into the air by a group of guests and family members.
Matthew’s younger brother Brady Tkachuk was spotted shirtless among the group as Chapelle Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” blasted in the background.
Another video showed the newlyweds walking hand-in-hand down the aisle after the ceremony. Ellie held her bouquet as Matthew gave her a romantic dip and kiss before they exited the venue.
“Awww Chucky and Ellie look so happy!” read the caption of the tweet.
Matthew Tkachuk is coming off a memorable season with the Florida Panthers as they won back-to-back Stanley Cup titles, beating the Edmonton Oilers.
Matthew Tkachuk’s partner Ellie celebrated her bachelorette in Fort Lauderdale
Earlier this year, in March, Matthew Tkachuk’s fiancée Ellie celebrated her bachelorette party in Florida. His sister, Taryn, shared a series of photos from the bash on her Instagram.
The celebration took place in Fort Lauderdale. In the pictures, Ellie wore a sparkly silver mini dress while Taryn was seen in a black dress by the water. Another photo showed the pair dancing indoors in front of a balloon display. Ellie wore a white lace outfit and Taryn wore a pink dress.
“Soon to be sistaaaaa🤩🤩,” Taryn captioned the post.
Taryn also posted a video of Ellie using a fog gun while dancing with her friends. Earlier that week, Taryn and Ellie had visited an outdoor cafe and a bridal boutique to try on their bachelorette outfits.
Ellie Connell is a luxury travel advisor and affiliate of Departure Lounge. She started her business ‘Travel Untethered’ in January 2023. Ellie and Matthew got engaged in April 2024, shortly before the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup that season.

She got interested in ice hockey after watching the “MVP” trilogy as a second grader and has not gotten over the sport yet. Her favorite player is Alex Ovechkin, whose legendary one-timers live rent free in her heart. The iconic moment when Ovechkin reached 800 career goals with a hat trick in Chicago as the away crowd chanted “Ovi, Ovi” is probably her happiest memory from an ice-rink.
When not enjoying the game, Anjum can be found sailing, star-mapping or collaborating with fellow citizen scientists at NASA.
