Re: Random Hockey Thread - Crossovers
From: (Anonymous)On a *hockey* level, somebody could probably do something interesting with the "4th rounder drafted in his last year of eligibility has consistently overachieved" narrative. I can't imagine he's ever going to be Norris-quality, but everything I read is that he *has* turned into a fairly solid d-guy.
Although including this would obviously take more nuance, there were a bunch of bottom-feeders on boards and such whose general message was "you're drafting a dude named Martinez just to draw Hispanic/Latinx fans" so including a little bit about that would make me happy.
(His paternal grandfather is Spanish and his paternal grandmother is Mexican according to wiki. What *he* IDs as is anybody's guess unless some nonnie knows, and I have no idea if he's fluent in Spanish but I don't think so. I doubt his ethnic background/last name was a major factor in drafting him, but given the LA area demographics I *can* easily see it being a minor point in his favor for once.)
And of course, he scored the WCF and Stanley Cup winning goals in the 2014 Cup run, which plus the obviously hot factor should be *perfect* for "you won us a Cup" celebratory porn.

From: (Anonymous)Any idea about Auston Matthews? He's apparently of Mexican descent, though I have no idea how he IDs.
Re: Random Hockey Thread - Crossovers
From: (Anonymous)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.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Random Hockey Thread - Crossovers
From: (Anonymous)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.)
