Another essential item for me is my deodorant, it's paloma. I'm pretty sure it's women's too and I've been wearing it for five six years. I can't stop, I think it smells really good, it's also a little embarrassing, but don't fix what isn't broken, what's wrong? I'm Austin Matthews and these are my essentials. My first article. I take my iPhone pods wherever he wants me to go to the gym. I walk my dog. In the food store. I can just tie those

things

up and just go on your way and

live

in your own little world before the game I mostly listen to rap music I like drake young thug little baby gunna one of the four best guys I guess I listened to and a lot more but for the most part i only listened to rap pre game stuff my next essential is my hockey stick i use it almost every day it's what i do it's what i love so this is my stick ccm uh my name bar says poppy34 it's kinda like my nickname when I was a kid wearing this every day has to be pretty essential for me growing up in Southern California and then Arizona, how does a kid like that get into hockey?

My uncle actually had season tickets to Coyotes games and my dad would just tag along when I was probably two or three, that's where I first saw the hockey game and I guess I immediately wanted to play, that's where it started. everything, but neither my parents nor my relatives grew up playing hockey. It was mostly baseball, basketball and other

sports

like that so you're the only person in my I guess in my family that grew up playing hockey so some of my cousins ​​started skating and I think it's pretty amazing the following is essential , my sneakers, my air forces. probably my favorite shoe these are my three favorites uh the cactus pack a couple of white ones I always like Nike I've always liked the Air Force they go with everything and uh just a clean pretty simple shoe what How big is your shoe?

The collection, uh, is quite large. I feel like I divided half my shoes here, half my shoes in Toronto. I think if I compiled them all into one it would need a lot of space, so it's definitely growing too. I've always liked jewelry and then I guess when I started playing in the NHL a lot of guys I played with had pretty nice watch collections so I got into this, this is my favorite, it's the gmt master ii pepsi. Pretty clean watch edition that goes with, you know, anything you can wear with soup or a t-shirt.

Which of your teammates has the craziest watch collection? It would have to be Patrick Marlow, maybe he's been playing in the NHL for over 20 years. I played with him for a year and we became very close, so I've seen his collections of everything, but he has some really nice watches. This is my go to body pillow. I really can't sleep without it. I have one here. I have one. in Toronto and then usually when we're traveling I call and get a couple extra pillows but I can't really sleep unless I have something between my legs and arms so it fits perfect and yeah.

I normally sleep like a baby, very essential to my daily life, next up, my golf clubs, so during the off season when I don't play much hockey, I played quite a bit of golf and got it stamped with my initials and number there, I've been playing for probably five six years. I'm not very good, but I have a lot of fun. My sister really plays and she's a d1 uh golf player so I try to learn as much as I can. I can do it with her, but I haven't been here many times, so that ruins my confidence.

I started playing honestly because I needed something to do in the off-season. I used to play hockey all year round, so I needed a drink. a little break and found a different hobby so I started playing golf and a bit of tennis lately too but it's mostly golf for me, next would be my slides, these are probably my three favorites. So these are the Dior Nikes, uh, and hug, uh, in the summer, this is pretty much all I wear is a cropped t-shirt, socks and flip flops, um, I like to keep it pretty casual and comfortable.

I also like to mix it up, these are a little weird, but I mean they are fun to use. Skates aren't exactly super comfortable, especially when you wear them for long periods of time, but yeah, I mean in the summer, pretty much just for slides and, uh, Air Force One, that's pretty much it. it's xbox uh nintendo switch I like to play video games I go through phases where all I do is play video games and I'm going to take a couple of months off these are the two consoles I probably use the most just play anything uh nhl call of duty fortnite and then change anything from mario party to super mega baseball which is actually our team's favorite game to play on the road it's quite addictive but a fun game to pass the time and then another essential for me is my deodorant , it's paloma, I'm pretty sure it's women's too.

I was a big spice guy and then yeah, I don't even know how I got into this. I think I just wanted to find something like a spray and I was in the men's section and they only had sticks and I've been using this for five six years and I can't stop, I think it smells really good, it's quite refreshing and it's also a little embarrassing, but no I don't fix what isn't broken, so my last essential would be my dog. Fortunately, he is not here. His name is Felix. He's actually out of an obedient school, so I won't get him back for another week or so, but I really miss him and him.

He makes my day every day, even when he poops in my house or disobeys me, so it's probably a good thing he's learning to obey a little, but that's my last essential for you, thank you all for checking out my essentials, see you next. time
