Patience is a word that fits Adam Brooks hockey career and the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to prosper from that fortitude.
After being passed over for two years of NHL Draft eligibility, Brooks was taken 92nd overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
In a 2017 interview with CTV, Brooks recounted his thoughts of not being drafted two years in a row:
“After my first two years being passed over, I didn’t think I’d be drafted…My 18-year-old year I thought maybe a team would see the improvements and take a chance, it was a little disheartening to see nothing happen.
