Henry Thrun was surprised to receive a call from Mike Grier, general manager of the San Jose Sharks, informing him of his trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Ryan Reaves. Excitement filled Thrun as he recognized the significance of joining a franchise with such a rich history and recent success. His childhood fandom for the Boston Bruins, despite his current team affiliation, showcased his deep-rooted passion for hockey. Thrun's first NHL goal was notably scored against the Maple Leafs, adding another layer to his connection with the team.
As much as I hate to say it, I was a Bruins fan growing up. Having that market nearby and just being a big fan of the sport, it was hard not to cheer for them.
Knowing I was going to a city like Toronto and just knowing the history and the success that the team has had over the past couple years, with the end goal still in sight, and there's more to push for.
