    Auston Matthews path to the NHL was unconventional compared to the traditional pathways within North America. During the NHL’s Hispanic Heritage Month, Donnovan Bennett sat down with Auston and his mom, Ema, to discuss his Mexican heritage, pride and family. All of which have shaped the player he’s become today.

    As a latin descent hockey fanatic, it does do something for me to see some players be open with showing their heritage some love. Latin, Slavic, etc, whatever, it brings in new fans to show love to your family's country of origin.

    Growing up (born & raised) in Toronto, as the only Mexican family who was into hockey (that we knew of), and whose 2 sons (myself & my older brother) both played hockey, I always dreamed of the day a Mexican or someone of Hispanic descent would play in the NHL...nevermind for my HOME TEAM Leafs!!! I always imagined it would happen in the US first, since their Mexican population is so huge compared to Canada's, but surprisingly...over the decades, the Mexican/Hispanic community has grown very large in Toronto. Hopefully having Matthews playing for the Leafs sparks a surge in Latino/Hispanic players in the league 🙏🇲🇽💪
    p.s. I realize there have been a couple of other Latino players in the league (e.g. Scott Gómez - NY Rangers)
    None have been "Superstars" & didn't really speak much about their Hispanic heritage.

You don't get that with McDavid, rather he's more robotic and provides answers the way the franchise has trained him to do, which is greatly outlined in the "10 things I can not live with out".
