Hailing from the small Northwestern Ontario home of Chris Pronger in Dryden, 22 year-old Matt Eichel has been obsessed with the game of hockey since he was seven years old. A hard-core Montreal Canadiens fan, he has followed the team since seeing the Canadiens 1993 Stanley Cup victory with his dad, a big reason he's a Habs fan.

Matt is currently studying at the University of Manitoba in the Faculty of Kinesiology & Recreation Management with the goal of graduating with a Bachelor of Physical Education.
