That embrace right there is what it's all about.

Matthew and Brady grew up with the dream of playing in the NHL one day and they've been supporting each other from day one in order to make that dream come true.

Now they've both officially made it and as you can see, it's an incredible feeling for the entire Tkachuk family.

And there goes Brady Tkachuk, No. 4 overall to Ottawa. He's now the highest drafted St. Louisan to go in Round 1 in the NHL draft, beating out brother Matthew by 2 spots.
