Summary
Fresh off winning the Memorial Cup and hearing his name called by his hometown team, Maple Leafs second-round pick Alex Bilecki joins Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill. The Mississauga native reflects on the whirlwind journey to Toronto, why he had a feeling the Leafs were interested, the relationship he built with the organization leading up to the draft, and why winning a championship helped prepare him for this next chapter. Bilecki also discusses his playing style, areas he wants to improve, growing up a Leafs fan, getting a congratulatory call from Mats Sundin, modeling parts of his game after Shea Theodore, and his excitement for development camp. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
