Former Maple Leafs forward Josh Leivo making an impact with Canucks
VANCOUVER — For years, Josh Leivo fought for a permanent roster spot with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Now the 25-year-old left-winger is playing big minutes with some of the best young athletes in the game — albeit in a Vancouver Canucks uniform.
So far the transition has been smooth.
“It’s a young group of guys, very light and fun in the room. So that was easy to come into,” Leivo said on Saturday. “And on the ice, everyone looks like they want to win.”
