James van Riemsdyk has a lot of accomplishments in his hockey career already: he was selected second overall in the NHL draft, he’s an Olympian, he starred in a Hollywood movie, he even has a world-famous pasta casserole named after him.
Today, he added a new accomplishment. JvR will be the Maple Leafs You Can Play club ambassador.
The NHL has teamed up with the You Can Play project, jointly declaring February Hockey Is For Everyone month. The league has events planned at a game for each club this month. The Maple Leafs will have theirs shortly.
