A lot can be said about Auston Matthews . He's a hard worker. His puck skills are impressive. He's a master of the boards. He's the best thing to come out of Arizona since the Grand Canyon. And the guy loves his hats.





The way he wear his hat is constantly inconsistent. He can wear them normal. He can wear them pulled down over his face. He can wear them to where it almost looks like he just put it on the top of his head and left it there with the thought of putting it down a bit never crossed his mind.





So I thought to compile Matthews' best hat moments and list them off chronologically. Also, the fedora moment with him and Marner, which was probably peak Matthews hat wearing, won't be on here because I couldn't find a gif of it. I looked for a very long amount of time trying to find one. I couldn't. And for that, I apologize.









October 9, 2015 - ZSC Lions Post-Game Interview





Quite possibly the most normal Auston has ever looked wearing a hat. The most intriguing part about this interview is that his hat says Camp David. Now, as an American, anytime I hear Camp David I think of the presidential cabin in Maryland. The one Trump will surely never go to on account that he doesn't like dirt or trees. Turns out this Camp David is just a clothing company over in Europe. Who would've guessed.









June 22, 2016 - NHL Draft Prospects Batting Practice





Ah, yes. Matthews wearing something Buffalo related. Awful, I know. The high point of this hat moment was Matthews mentioning David Ortiz was one of his favorite players. Toronto's Papi looking up to Boston's Papi is a nice thought. Also, Buffalo Bisons? Shouldn't it just be Bison? Like how a group of deer are just deer. I could be wrobut Bisons sounds wrong.









June 24, 2016 - 2016 NHL Entry Draft





What hat moment has been better than this moment? None moments. Look how happy he is. Look how happy Lou is. Lou Lamoniello is smiling. That in itself makes this moment the best on the entire list. Matthews could be putting on a hat that reads "Lanny's Stache Wasn't All That" and Lou would still be smiling.









July 5, 2016 - Leafs Development Camp





In quite possibly his oddest hat choice, Matthews decided to go with just an all black hat. Was this him testing out a villain personality? Bad guys wear black, right? Or did he see all those Reddit comments about him not wanting to be in Toronto, so he decided to mess with everyone and not wear a Leafs hat? Did he just buy this at some gas station before he got to the rink cause he forgot one at home? Who knows.

September 18, 2016 - North America v. Finland Post-Game Interview





You know what? I don't even blame Auston for this one. Look at him pretty much present to the crowd what an awful hat he's wearing. Turning his head to show all the reporters "Yes, this is one of those flimsy dad hats you guys probably wear. You like them. I don't."





December ?, 2016 - Road to the Outdoor Classics





Our man is in all black, full incognito mode. I've watched this multiple times and still can't decide what brand it is. It's just black with a grey bill. He's playing it safe. And even though bonus points aren't a thing, he'd definitely be getting bonus points for just simply not wearing the same scarf Hyman is wearing. I love Zach Hyman more than most relatives, but get that cream scarf out of here forever.





Doing more research on Auston and his hats, I was able to stumble upon some groundbreaking news. The Christmatthews hat would resurface...









The incognito hat makes a comeback! Our boy doesn't care about you, your crew or the brands you wear.
