Mathieu Joseph Parents: Frantzi Joseph And France Taillon

Mathieu’s parents are Frantzi Joseph and France Taillon. His father is of Haitian heritage and has spent many years playing and coaching hockey. In contrast, France, Joseph’s mother, was a successful athlete in her childhood and is of white heritage. Pierre-Olivier, the player’s younger brother, also plays ice hockey as a defenceman with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Growing up, both brothers were subjected to racist comments on the ice and told to ‘go back to your own country.’ Despite the hostility they encountered as the only black ice hockey players on their team, the brothers persisted and pursued justice.

Joseph is ready to fight for justice: Parents’ Encouragement

“Justice has always held great importance in my life,” Joseph said, noting the challenges he’s encountered because of his skin color. Mathieu said that he had been exposed to racist slurs at a young age, but he was determined not to let them lower his self-esteem. He said, “I could usually brush them off, but when you hear them in the moment, it’s truly exhausting.”

He further said that their parents had always emphasized to both brothers the importance of respecting others. Joseph went on to say that demonstrating respect for other people’s uniqueness may frequently result in their repaying appreciation for their unique features. When their mother heard this, she smiled with satisfaction, knowing that her son had a profound regard for others.

Mathieu Scratch: Details

In 2023, right before the highly anticipated game between the Penguins and the Senators, the club revealed that Mathieu Joseph would be a healthy scratch. The Joseph brothers had invited over 50 friends and family members to see their one-of-a-kind clash. This was Mathieu’s first NHL encounter with his brother, Pierre-Olivier, which added to the excitement. Ian Mendes, an insider from The Athletic who was following the Senators, undertook an inquiry into the reasons behind Mathieu Joseph’s surprise benching.

As a consequence, internet comments emerged, implying that the decision was related to Mathieu’s acts or conduct. Rumors began to spread, with some guessing that Joseph had maybe broken a team policy, while others felt he had skipped the team’s regular breakfast, resulting in his surprise penalty.
