Where in the world is Matt Longbeach?

There have been many puzzling questions in regards to the Sharks, but none of which more troubling than figuring out Matt Nieto's birth place. This is something that even Kings fans and Ducks fans wonder! Kings fans pondering ANYTHING is a pretty big deal, guys.  It's a goddamn mystery for the whole state of California.

I haven't wanted to see a birth certificate this badly since the 2008 presidential election.

To figure out this troubling mystery, I decided to play one of my favorite childhood games!

In order to start my detective work, I must return to the scene of the crime.

Whilst visiting the scene of the crime, I interviewed some witnesses to gather more information about the birthplace of the suspect.

I'm getting an idea of where he could be, but still no dice. Thankfully I have one more witness to help me crack the case!

Thanks to the helpful hints of my witnesses, I was able to find out that Matt Longbeach is from......

Shit. Guess I should've checked twitter first. Have they ever mentioned this in a broadcast before?
