'I’m grateful to be a Mexican American. I’m proud of where I come from.' Auston Matthews and his mother Ema spoke with donnovanbennett about the Maple Leafs star's Mexican heritage and the role it has played in his hockey career.

Bars showing the sport, now there’s a Latin website for the NHL and they are celebrating the heritage for a month. I mean, a lot of that is due to you. How does that make you feel?I think it’s amazing. I think just like anything, you know, always room for improvement and growth but it’s always a treat. Going back and playing in Phoenix and seeing all my family from her side coming up from Mexico and from different parts of that Southwest area that they all live in, it’s always nice seeing them.

You get upset when somebody comes in and hits your boy, but I have to learn that this was part of the game, so it was hard. It’s still hard for me.It’s great. Even before I played here, I’d come and skate and you see, the parents are almost so hard on their kids and they’re just all over them. My mom was just kind of there supporting me. Thank you. My dad was kind of the one that, pushed me, I think in the right ways. I think he’d tell you, we had ups and downs obviously, a feeling out process.
