I would like to start off by recognizing and talking a little bit about my appreciation for all of the health care workers in our community — the front-line workers that have done so much for us over the last several months, and the risks that they take on every day. Extreme gratitude to them — not just on behalf of the Maple Leafs and players but from all of the community here in Toronto and Ontario. I just want to thank them for everything that they have done.
I am excited to start the NHL season.
