Dominic Moore on Auston Matthews: “It’s not lost on him that, even at his young age, he’s a leader of the group”

Moore is hosting his annual Smashfest Charity Ping-Pong Challenge benefitting concussion and rare cancer research this Thursday, July 20th at the Steam Whistle Brewery in downtown Toronto. Passes are available here.

For me, the excitement is hard to describe. You go free agency and you want to find a place that is the right fit for a variety of reasons. Obviously, coming back to Toronto, which is where I’m from but more importantly has a chance to do some great things, some special things this coming year. With the talent and skill level and what the coaching staff has done with this team for the last couple of years and the management kind of making Toronto an exciting team that has a lot of potential, to be able to join that group is an exciting opportunity.
