In a piece written for The Players Tribune, former New York Islanders captain John Tavares opened up about his decision to leave Long Island and join the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Here is my response:
Dear John Tavares,
Thank you.
Thank you for the memories. Thank you for sticking with us through the thick and thin. Thank you for bleeding blue and orange.
You were a class act, one that represented the Islanders in the utmost of fashion. As a captain, you cared about your teammates, coaches, and fanbase. What you did for this organization will never be forgotten.
