Travis Kelce was tapped into the 2026 Milan Olympics.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, 36, gave a glimpse into his offseason on New Heights, revealing that he and his girlfriend Taylor Swift watched the U.S. men's hockey team defeat Canada in a thrilling 2-1 win at the Winter Games on Sunday, Feb. 22.
When speaking with his brother and co-host Jason Kelce, 38, on the Feb. 25 podcast episode, Travis reminisced about the monumental win, which marked the first time the U.S. men's hockey team won Olympic gold since the 1980 Miracle on Ice.

"Me and Tay watched the entire game, man," the Chiefs star said. He and his pop star girlfriend tuned in to watch on Sunday at around 8 a.m. ET. Travis added, "And it's just so f---ing epic, man. From the first drop of the puck, man, that game was nonstop action and had me at the edge of my seat."
"Loved every bit of it, man," he said.
Travis, who wore a Team USA hockey jersey alongside his brother, who was matching, also gave a shout-out to their dad, Ed Kelce, whose birthday fell on the same day as the U.S. men's hockey win. During the game, star player Jack Hughes, 24, scored the "golden goal" in overtime for a victorious ending.
"I just f---ing exploded when I saw ol' Jack Hughes f---ing put it right in between the legs, man," said Travis of the star forward, who snuck one in between Jordan Binnington's legs in overtime to defeat Canada.
The NFL brothers marveled over Hughes' missing front tooth, which was knocked out after he took Canadian Sam Bennett’s hockey stick to the face earlier in the game.
"Golly. It looked like he had lost that tooth once or twice before," Travis pointed out. "They crushed it. USA was so much fun to watch throughout the entire tournament, man. That semifinal game that you went to, I'm sure we'll get into the rundown, but absolutely epic."

The 3x Super Bowl winner doubled down on the U.S. men's hockey team's "epic game," but also praised the opposing team's performance, too.
"Shout out to Canada too, man. Obviously, that team is so f---ing stacked," he said.

Jason added, "There is just something about hockey, whether it's playoff hockey or national hockey. When guys are going all out, it's just the most fun sport to watch on the planet."
"Bro, that was a f---ing intense game from the start," Travis recalled. "How much the f---ing puck was moving. There were a few passes where I was just like, 'How the f--- did he even know the guy was over there'?"

"The puck was moving so goddam quick," he continued. "Those guys are both on both teams. Those guys are so in sync."
"USA... Hockey capital of the world! Men's and women's. Gold medal," the retired Philadelphia Eagles star touted, highlighting the women's hockey team who respectively defeated their heated rival Canada with a 2:1 win three days prior to the men's team victory.
He concluded, "Best country on the planet in hockey. I don't want to hear any arguments."
The Kelce family has bee very supportive of the women's hockey team in the days leading up to the Winter Games and on site in Milan. Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, cheered them on in-person, while Travis and his brother even donated to help star Laila Edwards fly her entire family out to watch her play.
The couple were spotted in the stands of Milan's Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena on Feb. 16, as they cheered on Team USA's women's team in the semifinal matchup. Jason was decked out in a USA hockey jersey, while Kylie wore a knit sweater in red, white and blue.
