Last night during Hockey Night in Canada’s Hometown Hockey fans from all over the NHL got an up close and personal look at Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene. The show broadcast live from Duchene’s hometown of Haliburton, Ontario - a cottage town about two and a half hours outside of Toronto. The broadcast spoke with many people from the area, including Matt’s parents Chris and Vince.
They aired this feature on Matt which talks about his life in Haliburton during the summer as well as the incredible charity work he does in the area.
While Duchene has been dominating for the Avs in the early part of the season, it’s great for fans to see where he comes from and that he embraces being a role model in his community.
