SPJN students interview Toronto Maple Leaf goalie James Reimer at the "buds" practice session at CFB Trenton October 12, 2011.


The Toronto Maple Leafs used a week long break to give back to the community. The Leafs held three practices last week that were open to the public at the RCAF Flyers Arena at Canadian Forces Base Trenton.  The team entertained fans with drills, a scrimmage and a shootout.

Off the ice the players socialized with fans, gave autographs and took part in some team building exercises including a flight aboard a C-17 Globemaster Transport plane.  They were also involved in a number of media scrums and Loyalist Sports Journalism students were there to cover it for assignments and 91X, the CRTC licensed FM radio station at Loyalist College.
