From the moment the Toronto Maple Leafs drafted Auston Matthews first overall in the NHL Draft, fans made it known they were relying on him to show the blue and white brighter days. And now that fans have seen what Matthews can do in the NHL, with 43 points on the season so far, they're even more excited about his future as a Leaf.

For today's #ThrowbackThursday, we thought we would look back at Matthews days lighting up National League A (the Swiss pro hockey league) last year. Want to see every goal Matthews scored for the ZSC Lions Zurich? We've got you covered!

 

 

We don't know if you're aware, but Matthews is a pretty great singer as well...
