From what I've seen it's sort of complicated for him. I'm gonna try and find the interview from a few years ago where he talks about it when I get on a real computer, but he sounded fairly uncomfortable being IDed as a Latinx hockey player. (Also I think wiki might be wrong about the grandmother, but I have to find the interview first)

Any idea about Auston Matthews? He's apparently of Mexican descent, though I have no idea how he IDs.

I don't know for sure, but his mother is Mexican, and he's talked about her cooking traditional Mexican food when he was in Switzerland.

He identifies as being of Mexican heritage. And from being from Arizona.

As I understand it "Latinx" is kind of a catchall term for anybody who has Central and/or South American roots. So yeah, if his grandmother isn't Mexican and neither parent is either, he would not normally be considered Latinx and it makes sense that he might be uncomfortable being IDed as such.

(I have the vague impression that at some point he said he considers himself Spanish ethnicity-wise but that could be inaccurate. So he *might* be a US-definition Hispanic, but "it's sort of complicated" is accurate.)
