Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews is gearing up for a huge season, and with his love of charity work in mind, his latest move comes as no surprise.
Auston Matthews is one of the most charitable players in the NHL, and there is no doubt that he enjoys giving back to his community.
Throughout the NHL season, and even the offseason, there are usually plenty of opportunities to contribute to charitable organizations, and Matthews is getting that chance very soon.
According to The Hockey News, the forward will be participating in the Hockey Night in Brampton charity game which takes place on August 20th.

$14 million were raised last season, and this time around, the organizers are looking to one-up themselves.
As for Matthews himself, he is understandable very excited to take part in this match.
"I'm honoured and excited to be part of Hockey Night in Brampton this year. It's always special to give back to the community through the game that has given us so much." He added, "Seeing guys like Mitch, John and Max take part in the past made it clear how important this cause is. I'm looking forward to hitting the ice and being part of an incredible night for the fans."
There are a plethora of other big names participating, so it makes sense that a lot of money would get raised.
Per The Hockey News:
List of participants includes: Owen Power, Ryan Getzlaf, former Maple Leafs Curtis Joseph, Mark Giordano and Owen Nolan, Taylor Raddysh, Darren Raddysh, Travis Barron, Phil Oreskovic, Blayre Turnbull, Renata Fast, Jeremy Roenick, Cody Hodgson and Terry Ryan.
