I worked at MLG/ACC from 1987 to 2000 and I remember both Celeste and Bill (didn't know them personally but when you're there at every event you recognize everyone's face, for sure). I started at MLG when I was 11 and I still miss the ol' barn to this day. Mattamy Athetic Centre and a Loblaws… It just isn't the same. GLG
Awesome to see this kind of video
well done ! and OEL 👍
My only complaints about these blueprint videos is the agonizing wait between them and how few of them we get each season.
We asked for more than one episode… ladies and gentlemen, we have our second episode 😂
Pastrnak just casually walking around 7:46 😄
I'd love to see Jake McCabe get some love too, I think he's as good of a defenseman as Rielly and OEL.
Just once before I die. I’m 44 years old now
Great vid but sad to see how many players are injured since this game…😒
This was (perhaps underratedly) one of the best episodes yet.
Every episode should be this long, these are greay
OEL might be my favourite leafs dman since kaberle
#LeafsForever
Man I love this team, only been following the NHL fo around 3 years but its been this team that been the most exciting to watch, be that through the ups or down theres no other team i'd rather rally behind and im glad ive had the privilege to fly over from the UK to see three games, heres to many more 👏💙🏒🔵⚪
No diddy 😂
These videos are pure gems! specially for fans on the other side of the ocean like me who hasn't got a chance to see the leafs playing life.
Wonderful job with these productions. They are inspiring for the fans. As someone mentioned in an earlier comment, special group this year. I also believe this to be the case. They are dealing with some bad luck when it comes to injuries here early in the season, but yet they keep finding a way with the next man up mentality. Chief is doing an amazing job with this whole group of players. He has a way to keep them accountable no matter what. It’s been fun to watch this team so far this year. Trees done an amazing job with the additions to this roster. Keep working boys… a lot of people are cheering you on… and have been pulling for this team win or lose for years. We’re gonna do it at some point WE BELEAF…. Go Leafs Go
special thanks to all the event and staff personal behind the scenes that make this stuff happen and keep things afloat … round of applause for you all!
When Mathews comes back, I hope he can take the team on his back. The only problem is that typically, the first year with a C on a mans jersey for a lot of guys, their point production goes down.
Well made, classy content. This is the way to connect to fans and support a healthy hockey culture.
I LOOOOOVE OEL….. i never knew he had a bit of unhinged in him. Congrats on 1K. Lets win a cup.
OEL is slowly becoming one of my fave Leafs Dmen of all time.

What a beautiful Family piece!!! Thank you!!🎉
Where's the blueprint for the Kings, Rangers, Lightning, Blues and Bruins games?
7:48 why didn't he ask the dude in the white toque and orange suit for his credentials?
OEL has been one of the better signings the Leafs have made in years. The guy is rock solid. With a bit of a mean streak, too.
Love this team. Deeeeeeeeeeep team in a looooong time.
what a great video! well done! love the looks at the MLSE staff and their history with the club. So many of these jobs don't get a spotlight but are essential so this was really really nice!
More like this please!
great insights from behind the scenes love it
0:00 "No Diddy" 😭
The Borje clips really know how to make a grown man cry,
The mini silver stick omg
Giving the behind the scenes folks some scenes to show how important they are was super cool
these videos are unreal!
Totally forgot OEL & Domi were already teammates.
Just amazing to see the ties between past and present and to see some of the beloved personnel of the Leafs ! Got tears in my eyes ! Thank you thank you to remind me how much I love this team !
No diddy lmfao ahahahahaha😅😅😅😅
I love the Leafs for chancing him down of the years his name keeps coming up with the leafs . I know why the Leafs wanted him incredible stick and skating ability wow on the ice how did the other team let him get away with. But it great here in Toronto welcome ❤
Beautiful video! So happy OEL signed here. 💙
Who the hell put "no Diddy" at the start😂😂😂
Miss him here in Florida!
Surprised he doing so well in TML after all the years in the garbage Arizona organization and the stint in Vancouver that didn't really worked out. I guess he will play for the three crowns in the upcoming four nation tournament.
Regular season warriors
This has to be one my fave Blueprints yet! They all rock and are so well done! Kudos to the production team for sure! The look into OEL was real cool and made me like him on a personal level (as opposed to 'just' a beast on the ice! My absolute fave part about this episode though was the look into the arena staff. Such a cool look with staff that has been there so long. Very cool to honour them as they are never in the spotlight but such an integral part of the team! Thank you!!
