A Jumbo sign that Toronto Maple Leafs training camp is imminent.
News broke this morning that the Toronto Maple Leafs have officially given Joe Thornton directions to make his way back to Canada. The 41-year-old center will mark his official arrival in Toronto following a mandated quarantine period, which will end just in time for the planned start of NHL training camps.
The veteran center comes to the Leafs after a tune-up stint with Davos HC of the Swiss league where he put up five goals and 11 points through 12 games.
