A one-on-one interview with 2016 top draft prospect Auston Matthews

I was fortunate this month to have a few days off, and decided to take a tour to see ice hockey in a few different places I hadn't been before.

I contacted the Zurich Lions, who I had seen play in the Champions Hockey League, knowing they had a good team and also an intriguing player named Auston Matthews. I thought it would be interesting to get an interview with Matthews after a game, and Mr. Roger Gemperle from the Zurich Lions was kind enough to help me out with both accreditation to the game as well as a short interview with Matthews, limiting it to a few questions as the pressure on one of the team's best players from both domestic and international media is quite extensive.
