Auston Matthews

“I like kind of picking out specific players and watching what they do, whether it's in pregame skate or warmups or in the game.”

“I just kind of do my thing and let my actions speak for my words.”

“I think I learned a lot just playing against Canada and Russia. Their rosters are filled with NHL studs and All-Stars.”

“My parents spent my whole childhood doing everything for us and they were never really doing anything for themselves.”

“Anze Kopitar is definitely someone I like to watch and try pattern myself after.”

“I think I have an inner drive that separates me from the rest.”

“I loved my time in Zurich.”

“Every Christmas, I knew I would get the new 'NHL' game. I always looked forward to it.”

“We're going to be better from our losses and from the adversity we've faced.”

“I want to be a leader regardless of if I have a letter on my sweater or not.”

“I'm going to have ups and downs and what I have to do is work that much harder and push through the tough parts.”

“I like Gucci a lot. I like Off-White quite a bit. A lot of their shoes and stuff are different and hard to get.”

“I take a lot of pride in preparing for the season and representing the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as I can.”

“If I do make a mistake, it's obviously on me, but I'm going to work hard to make sure I make as few as I can.”

“I try to be the best I can be.”

“As the years have gone, I've just kind of grown into myself a little bit more. And maybe felt more comfortable just being myself and not really worrying about what everybody else thinks or says.”

“I want to score, I want to produce and do those things.”

“I did enjoy baseball, and it was certainly something I liked to play, but hockey would become my No. 1 passion.”

“There's really no excuses; you've got to make your own luck.”

“My uncle actually had season tickets to Coyote's games, me and my dad would just kind of tag along with him when I was probably two or three years old. That's kind of where I first saw the game of hockey and I guess I just kind of immediately wanted to play.”
