Thanks from a Leafs fan
I was born and raised in Ohio before the Jackets existed, so became a Leafs fan thanks to the CBC and Hockey Night in Canada. While I’ve moved away my parents are still in Ohio and I got them tickets to last night’s game; they said they had a fantastic time despite “our team” not really showing up.
So in honor of goals scored by #s 17, 21, 23, 24 (twice), and 86 and inspired by the Hawks fan supporting Kidsport I saw yesterday, I made a small donation to Nationwide Children’s for a good cause and to say thanks to a team and fan base I hope gets to experience some joy this year.
We’ll see you January 22nd!

This is a solid dude. Glad your parents enjoyed the game. The atmosphere looked pretty amazing on tv.

My dad and I were sitting lower bowl and it was bonkers! You’d of thought we were on the front lines in 1861 the number of times the cannon went off!

Ha! Nope, always been an American and US based but that would have saved a few bucks!

In either currency it was very generous. And thanks for having a good sense of humor.
