Calgary's own Tate McRae carries on annual family tradition by watching Flames game at Saddledome arena with brother Tucker, others

Calgary native and pop superstar Tate McRae was in attendance at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Tuesday night to watch the Calgary Flames host the Seattle Kraken, continuing a long-running family tradition of attending home games during visits back to the city.

Prior to puck drop, McRae met up with team mascot Harvey the Hound in the concourse. The Flames presented her with a gift box that revealed custom Calgary Flames “McRae” jerseys.

The official account of the team shared snaps of the moment across social media platforms including Instagram.

“Calgary’s own @tatemcrae is in the house tonight 🔥,” read the caption of the post.

Hockey media outlet Spittin’ Chiclets later shared video of McRae seated alongside her brother Tucker McRae and other family members during the game.

Tate McRae’s brother Tucker is a Calgary-born defenseman who developed through the local hockey system before playing junior hockey in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with the Okotoks Oilers where he served as captain.

He later advanced to NCAA Division I hockey at Dartmouth College as a dependable defensive presence known for his physical play and shot-blocking. Now a senior, Tucker holds a leadership role with the Big Green and has been named team captain.
