Froese aiming to build off strong showing with Marlies
Throughout this training camp, one message has been echoed from management down through the coaching staff to the players looking to play for the Maple Leafs — you get what you earn.While many onlookers take that message with cynicism given the realities of a modern day NHL, its contracts and other nuances of the off-ice game, there are many players whose path to Toronto are a reflection of the aforementioned attitude.
There may be no better example of that mentality in the organization than forward Byron Froese — a player who has earned his shot with the Maple Leafs this season on the back of hard work and persistence.
