The sports talk radio landscape has shifted in Toronto, and Leafs fans have a new voice on TSN 1050's Leafs Lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. on weekdays in longtime sports reporter Andi Petrillo.
And Petrillo's history with the Leafs runs deep.
As a first generation Canadian from Italy, hockey -- and the Leafs -- are what made the Petrillo's feel at home. When her grandfather settled in Toronto, he gravitated to the Leafs through constant chatter at work, and a love for the game took off in the family.
"It was pretty engraved in us," Petrillo said in a phone interview following Bell Media's announcement of her new role as host of the lunchtime radio show.
