Does Auston Matthews prefer Cabernet Sauvignon, or is he more of a Pinot Grigio type?
That's what Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock will be asking his star forward after they made a bet on the outcome of Thursday's gold-medal game between Canada and the United States at the World Junior Hockey Championship.
Babcock was asked Friday about the stakes in the wager made before the U.S. defeated Canada in a shootout to claim gold.
"Well, it cost me a bottle of wine," the coach told reporters, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.
Matthews is looking forward to receiving his winnings.
"It's going to feel really nice to get that from him," the 19-year-old said.
The No. 1 overall pick is underage in the U.S., but he can legally drink it in Canada.
Everything's coming up Matthews these days.
