Connor reached out to Matvei when Matvei’s dad died and was very kind about it.

At the draft, Connor made it a point to seek Matvei out and sit with him in a room of hundreds. They talked about the other prospects and exchanged numbers.

Connor’s parents also made a point to talk to Matvei and told him he would always be welcome to stay with them if he was ever in Vancouver.

Matvei said that while he couldn’t imagine Connor would ever be in Russia, if he was, he would be welcome to stay with Matvei.

Turned out, from like 12, 10 years old, that we were just, like — Hey, in Litvínov, there’s a great goalie named Marek. My dad told me that we’ll be good together. That we could be, like, a good duo, or something like that. Yeah, we had, we had a great childhood together. Competitive childhood, too. Yeah, we were, like, pushing each other a lot, so, yeah. That was a fun time.
