@nhl: and that is why Matthew is the way he is 🥹 #NHL #NeverOffside #hockey #MatthewSchaefer #NewYorkIslanders

🗽XFactor🏝️ :

Schaefer probably heard “slushie” and went demon mode and scored

Definitely not Randy Marsh :

And notice how his son still ended up being 1st overall and a great person?? Some hockey parents are insane

loveshackbby10 :

Wait that his mother? She’s gorgeous.

Wowza732 :

THAT is a DAD! No wonder Matt is such a genuine sweetheart.

Bel :

And that’s exactly why he is successful. I wish more fathers and hockey parents realized how important it is for children to have emotional support in order to succeed. If your child can’t take a loss because they’re worried about how YOU are going to treat them then they are eventually going to either crumble from the pressure or end up hating the sport.

wasi.4.life :

I yelled plenty of "Mama loves you!" to my boys during their games. 😂 They didn't make it to the NHL, but that's okay...they're good people. lol

Donald Harrison :

good players never pass

user7337617746926 :

Recently receiving outpatient oncology treatment and he was visiting unit and got a chance to spend a moment with him. What a winner in life!! His dad and late mom have every reason to be so proud of him. They say be careful about meeting your “heroes “ well he is all that and more!!

You can 100% tell his dad shouted that he loved him with his full chest when he was a kid. Such a nice, non-toxic lad

BrayBray :

And what a great guy on and off the ice.
