Dylan Larkin to compete on ‘Family Feud’ and captain Team USA - MLive.com

What the report says

MLive.com reported in a July 2026 item that Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin is set to appear on “Family Feud” in a hockey-themed matchup involving Team USA players. According to the outlet’s headline and available snippet, Larkin will captain a Team USA side, with members of a men’s gold medal-winning hockey team facing players from a women’s gold medal-winning team.

The public article text was not available, so key broadcast details — including the episode’s air date, full player lineup, filming location and whether the matchup is tied to a particular tournament or celebration — could not be confirmed from the supplied material. The snippet identifies the format as a competition between men’s and women’s gold medal-winning hockey representatives, but it does not specify the event at which either team won gold.

Larkin is widely known as the captain of the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings and has represented the United States in international competition. His inclusion gives the game-show appearance a Michigan sports connection, while the Team USA framing links NHL and national-team hockey audiences with a mainstream entertainment program.

“Family Feud,” a long-running television game show, typically features two groups trying to guess the most popular answers to survey questions. In this case, based on MLive’s report, the hook is not an on-ice contest but a televised crossover featuring prominent American hockey players in a lighter competitive setting.
