The Rise of Auston Matthews



In this video, I look back at the career of Auston Matthews, and his journey from an uncommon background in Arizona, to becoming an NHL superstar, and now the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

I talk about his entry into professional hockey in Switzerland, his record-breaking accomplishments, and the challenges he’s faced, including playoff disappointments.

  1. A coach forcing a kid to make this choice at such a young age to give up a sport is why that coach lost Auston in baseball.

  2. I see things about Auston becoming the all time goal scorer and it’s possible but it will be very hard. He is definitely going to be the leafs all time goal scoring leader and most likely the all time points leader

  3. Matthews now being the captain will show more in the playoffs with a wanting and willingness to prove all doubters wrong.I know that it's not an individual sport and only a team can go through the torturing rounds that playoof hockey is all about but he's matured and he's going to take great pride in having the C on his jersey.
    Austin take Toronto to the promise land and you will no doubt go down as the best player to ever wear the blue and white.
    GFG!!
