Auston Matthews’ parents have a lot to be proud of.
Ema and Brian Matthews saw their 19-year-old son selected No. 1 overall in the 2016 NHL Draft, and just a few months later they witnessed him make history in his debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Auston scored four goals, the most ever by a player in their NHL debut, Wednesday in the Maple Leafs’ 5-4 overtime road loss to the Ottawa Senators. And each time he scored, the cameras panned to his parents, whose reactions were priceless.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone so proud of their son. Gotta give the hockey moms across the world some credit. pic.twitter.com/OCzjC1iWSJ

It doesn’t get any better than that.
