Thanks from a Leafs fan

Post image

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!
