Auston Matthews went golfing with Joe Thornton and Clayton Keller in the offseason

This summer, Auston Matthews spent quiet family time with his loved ones while also linking up with close friends Clayton Keller and Joe Thornton for a few offseason golf outings. Matthews later shared a carousel of pictures from his summer downtime on his Instagram.

The collection featured a variety of personal moments. One click showed a striking sunset over the ocean, while another captured a sunlit outdoor dining setup framed by trees in golden-hour light.

Matthews also included a picture of himself on a mini putting green with his parents and siblings, his sisters holding their dogs alongside his own pup Felix, who stood at the center. In another shot, he sat smiling on a bench with his father Brian and their dog between them.

“Summer aol 🏜️,” Matthews captioned the post.

The Leafs star also posted a pic of him with his friend Zac, Trevor Cheek, and a young child. The final few slides showed snaps from the golf course where he joined Clayton Keller, Joe Thornton and another friend for a group picture on the course.
