Auston Matthews

“I have been reading Kevin McGran in The Star since I was a kid, and am a big fan, except when he calls me after Game 7 meltdowns. But he knows his stuff and this book is the inside scoop on #34.” — STEVE DANGLE, host of The Steve Dangle Podcast and author of the bestselling Hockey Rants and Raves“For many years, Kevin McGran has always been an insightful read on the Toronto hockey beat and he doesn’t disappoint telling the Auston Matthews story.” — SCOTT MORRISON, author of 1972“The quality and depth of research that went into this book is the kind of writing I have come to expect from a true professional like Kevin McGran. His focus, Auston Matthews, is a rare talent, so you need a special writer to tell his story. I can think of few people better to tell that story than Kevin.” — JIM LANG, author of My Day with the Cup: NHL Players Tell Their Stories about Hometown Celebrations with Hockey’s Greatest Trophy“From the day the Toronto Maple Leafs secured the first pick overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, Auston Matthews has been viewed as the Leafs’ saviour. Arriving from the hockey ‘hotbed’ of Scottsdale, Arizona, he exploded onto the scene with an incredible opening night performance. Kevin McGran takes you through the life of one of the most unique sports stories of our time. A must-read for any Leafs fan!” — JOE BOWEN, Toronto Maple Leafs’ Play-by-Play Announcer
