And then he wrote something out for me and I had to say ‘Hi, I’m Luca Caputi from the Toronto Maple Leafs’. I went home that night and thought about it and it was weird saying it, but it felt so good at the same time. I think that’s when it finally sunk in that I can actually say ‘I’m a Toronto Maple Leaf’. It’s ...
