The Toronto Maple Leafs announced this morning that they recalled forward Mason Marchment from the Toronto Marlies. Marchment, 24, spent most of this season out with an injury but recently came back and has four points in 11 games thus far.
There’s been a little bit of a trend recently between Toronto Maple Leafs management and players where opportunities are being presented for reasons that go beyond hockey.
Justin Holl inking a contract extension in Minnesota, where he played college hockey is one example. And while he didn’t dress, the Maple Leafs calling up Teemu Kivihalme while in his home state of Minnesota is another example.
