Amazing Hockey Stories: Auston Matthews

About this book

Born in San Ramon, California, and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, hockey might seem like an unlikely career choice for Auston Matthews. But he fell in love with the sport at a young age, and his natural talent was quickly apparent.

After participating in USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program and playing a single season in the top Swiss pro league, Auston was drafted first overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs and made his NHL debut shortly after his nineteenth birthday.

In his nine seasons — so far — in the NHL, Auston has racked up records, awards and accolades, especially for his ability to score goals — lots of them!

As the Maple Leafs continue their quest for the Stanley Cup, Auston Matthews is leading the charge.
