Matt's story is a testament to perseverance and resilience. Despite not being picked by the OHL, he didn't let that stop him. Instead, he pushed harder, eventually earning back-to-back 40-goal seasons in the QMJHL and hearing his name called on draft day in 2006.

Matt talks about the importance of trusting the process, the impact of mentors, and the joy of mentoring younger players.
