Leafs honour family of late Rodion Amirov at Scotiabank Arena

The Toronto Maple Leafs held a sombre moment on Thursday evening to honour the family of Rodion Amirov, a prospect of the team who passed away last year. With both parents and two siblings in attendance in Toronto for last night's contest against the New Jersey Devils, the Scotiabank Arena crowd offered a loud ovation for the Amirov family, who were making their first trip to Toronto from Russia. Amirov, who passed away at the age of 21 in August 2023, was selected 15th overall by the Leafs in the 2020 NHL Draft.
