When it comes to NHL hockey players arriving for a game, Don Cherry expects them to look like a million bucks.

Make that ten million.

“When you are making $10 million bucks, you should dress like $10 million,” he says, responding to recent images of Maple Leafs’ players arriving at the rink dressed casually without traditional jacket and tie.

The coach specifically called out superstar Auston Matthews, who he teased was “looking like he was going to a barbecue.”

On his Grapevine podcast and in our interview, Cherry rejected the idea that younger players are looking for a new way of dressing by saying he wants to keep the NHL as the only league that consistently dresses up before games.
