Travis Kelce, known for his skills on the football field, has expressed his interest in hitting the ice with the Chicago Blackhawks and NHL rookie sensation Connor Bedard.

During a recent episode of the “New Heights” podcast, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end revealed his desire to join the Blackhawks for an NHL practice session, taking inspiration from retired NFL star Rob Gronkowski, who once skated with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

“I wanna hit up the Blackhawks and get in net or something,” Kelce shared, sparking excitement among hockey fans and the Blackhawks themselves.

Responding to Kelce’s enthusiasm, the Blackhawks extended a warm invitation through their social media channels, embracing the idea of the NFL star swapping his cleats for ice skates.

Adding to the podcast banter, Kelce also had a lighthearted moment struggling to pronounce Connor Bedard’s name, which elicited good-natured laughter across social media.

Interestingly, Kelce’s affinity for the Blackhawks is not new, as fans uncovered a tweet from 2014 where he declared himself a Blackhawks fan, prompting a playful exchange with the team’s social media team.

Hosted by Kelce and his brother Jason, the “New Heights” podcast gained widespread attention during Super Bowl 57 when the brothers faced off on the field. More recently, the podcast garnered renewed interest as Kelce’s romance with global pop sensation Taylor Swift made headlines.
