Matthew Tkachuk and Auston Matthews take part in the WeakSideStrong challenge
The WeakSideStrong challenge is an initiative set up by the family of Chris Snow, the Calgary Flames' assistant GM who was diagnosed with ALS 3 years ago and given a year to live. Snow has far outlived his original timeline, and though his conditioned has worsened over time, his desire to press on and raise awareness and funding for research is nothing short of inspirational.
The whole idea behind the challenge is to take part in one of your favourite activities, but to do so using your opposite hand or foot, capture it on camera or video and share it to social media and challenge your friends and followers to take part in the challenge and donate to ALS research.
Recently, we saw Leafs defenseman Mark Giordano take part in the initiative, firing 3 one-timers at the net using a right-handed stick (Gio obviously shoots left). Now it looks as though another Leaf is getting involved, as Auston Matthews was challenged by close friend and Flames winger Matthew Tkachuk, who also took part in the challenge.
Matthews chose to challenge Arizona Coyotes winger Clayton Keller in his social media post, while Tkachuk also challenged his younger brother Brady.
