Loved your Uncle Bill, he was a great man and friend. Taught me how to hunt quail. It is SO awesome what you are doing for CF. He would be SO proud of you. I know your family is. Keep up the great work!

Hey Auston CBJ fan here. you're the reason I watch every Toronto game. Spending many summers at Lake mead and Lake Powell. love Arizona. hope you get to lift the cup soon in Toronto.

[@gutetime3039]

Myself being an RRT, and seeing Matthews go help and see kids with CF really makes my heart feel so complete. Many people don't know how tough that lung disease is on the patients and families. Matthews, me being a Sabres fan and seeing you do this. You deserve a cup! I really hope you get one despite being a maple leaf! I have a close friend whose son has CF and plays hockey. He pushes himself and has worked so hard to become better than most of the kids his age. Unless we find a cure this disease eventually leads into an early death. It's one of the most scariest things to see a child's lungs fill up with so much mucous and eventually becomes so hard that they can no longer breathe and die. I really hope a day comes Matthews will get to meet my friend's son. Thanks again Austin for doing this for these kids! You gained a fan today and such respect from me! God be with you and please keep inspiring these kids to keep going!

Things aren't always as they seem

[@goleafsgo8496]

Wow Mom and Dad seem like great people and over the years with the Leafs we have seen they raised a fine young man.

[@jj123oro]

Chills... this is it! Papi 4ever!! Raised right with deep seeded roots of both hertiages! Work hard and stay humble just as you are AM!!

[@CatSamurai99]

Great vid. I think this guy is my new favorite current player. I am from Dallas, and I met Modano when the Stars came here. Matthews reminds me of Mo, hugely talented and a great person.

[@Mello-RL]

How many times is this going to be uploaded? hes my favorite player and i still find it weird

[@DinnerBells]

No sports = no content.

[@livelifeTOrcr1p]

Nice! Thank you sportsnet

[@MoSizzlac97]

They gotta start Memorializing some of these old places Auston Grew up playing, because he’s one of the greatest playing the game right now.. I’d recognize it. Papi papi papi chulo, lol his nickname reminded me of that song..

[@chrisbauman2562]

Guy comes from the least hockey place on earth and still became a hockey star. Pretty sick man

[@sliat1981]

We Jamaica have a bobsled team

[@Pucksndeep6]

Great guy

[@ivyginny]

Ugh, great. I think I may have to adopt another one. Why does he have to be so genuinely kind

[@bcon610]

Ole ole ole Mantequilla. Dude is Butter. Leafs gonna miss him

[@Finhaamugt]

Would it be possible to get Finnish subtitles for longer videos !?

[@woodywoodlstein9519]

Amazing player parents. Amazing story. Odds against. Snowballs chance in hell. And he does it. The best I’m the nhl. He’s literally changing the game itself.

[@arvindsoreng8146]

I am a bruins fan but I liked this vid

[@kyleresler9353]

I like sportsnet’s catchy new slogan!

[@kaidenmontero7383]

Maybe he doesn't have McDavid's speed but he has a better shot

[@CatSamurai99]

He just goes right around people...like they aren't there...

[@raniraoof]

sportsnet running out of content to upload

[@thegamersparadise]

Man I don't think he's gonna stay in Toronto after his contract is up. And as much as I want him to stay here, I don't think it will happen, his connection with the Coyotes is just too strong, and you can clearly see it in this Documentary 😔 and if he goes home I'll be happy for him, and thank him for the awesome memories while he was a Maple Leaf.

[@andrebelliard3184]

You underate his connections to Toronto I think. People said that after his entry contract and people will say that after he signs his next one with Toronto.

[@thegamersparadise]

@@andrebelliard3184 - Like bruh, You think I want him gone??? I'm literally preying to GOD everyday he stays with us.. its just very odd & sus' that he only signed a 5 year deal. When almost ALL Superstars usually go for the max 8 year contracts. Go watch a documentary about his life, and after you will start to get nervous because how much he loves his home, and how much he LOVES the Phoenix Coyotes. He even has season tickets for Christ sakes lol. Like bro if JT returned home, what makes u think Auston wouldn't do it?...

[@moritzguderian8381]

sadly true

[@saskk2290]

@@thegamersparadise He may leave but unlikely to go to Arizona

[@bingbong586]

He will unfortunately go back to Arizona. Look gow much he talks about how different toronto is, he misses home

[@thintercepter_mcoc]

Ryan Poehling did it too (: 3 goals plus a shootout WINNER!!!

[@ashkatchem8130]

Equally amazing

[@thegamersparadise]

ThIntercepter - Who the hell is Ryan Peohling???

[@thintercepter_mcoc]

@@thegamersparadise he plays for Montreal. He scored a hat-trick in his debut game PLUS he got the shootout winner (:

[@thegamersparadise]

@@thintercepter_mcoc - What in the hell? The game it happened in was even verse my team (The Leafs)! Lol, & I still don't remember it 🤣.. I just watched it now. But in all honesty, all his goals were just mediocre goals.. Like the 1st one was just him literally crashing the net & into the goalie, & it almost looked as though he tries kicking it in lol... The only goal I really thought was half decent was the "Shootout Winner", but seriously bruh, that is all.. None of it was highlight Reel stuff. And that's probably why it went under the Radar of so many other fans. I'm sorry, but just my opinion. 😞

[@thintercepter_mcoc]

@@thegamersparadise you’re right. They weren’t highlight reel goals. But it still happened and no one talks about it. Equal to what Matthews did IMO

@@saskk2290 Sure, but there's a small difference between playing and harassing a security guard.

27:14 I’ll bet he has maximum vital lung capacity.. he could be in an, Ronnie James Dio cover band. And he said he can’t sing. Papi is the ripper’

Dude is Mantequilla! Arriba Mantequilla. Embrace it and im not a leafs fan. Representa

[@thehighschoolhustler]

watching this the night of the leafs game 7 loss v boston 2024. If any team deserves the Stanley cup, it's the leafs and Austin Matthews. There's always next year.

[@bcon610]

Dude is Mexican!? Ok now i want him with the Kings for sure. Dont fret not gonna happen. But make sure i would spread the the word to my hispanic hockey community.

He’s no more Mexican than he is Anglo
