In this episode of Blueprint, we trace Scott Laughton’s journey from the outdoor rinks of Centennial Park to an emotional return to Philadelphia. After a mic’ded up New Year’s Day skate—complete with a ‘First Star’ challenge—we look at Scott’s transition to his hometown team after building a decade-long legacy as a Flyer. Now settled in Toronto and closer to family, his journey comes full circle—capturing everything from a clutch goal on his former home ice to a mini-sticks battle with his son back at home.

What a heart-and-soul'er. He's a gamer, too. I would love to see Scott sign a long-term deal and stay a Leaf forever. EDIT: This episode has to be one of the best of this series, and I've been watching them for long time, now. GLG
The cats are so beautiful
Hey
Simply outstanding! What an excellent player to have through trying times.
Give this guy an A right now . Strip Morgan.

This team is just the way it should be more of a grit team. Get Tanev back Trade off Nylander and go with it win or lose this is the team
90's through the mid 2000's was peak Leafs hockey for many of us. Sure, no Cup win, but those guys always seemed hungry to win games. Maybe this team has the appetite to claw back. Scotty is old-school, got that dog in him. Do not give him a reason to leave this team.
Laughton is a team guy and one of the best locker room guys. We knew that when Toronto signed him. There's zero surprise here. He keeps the energy positive.
Sign the man long term
HAS BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS SOLID PLAYER THAT DOESNT TAKE SHIT FROM ANYONE
Scotty is retiring a Leaf
In the core four era we've missed having this kind of character player around. Most championship teams have them around. I feel we still need a couple of the RIGHT players between defense and top 6 and this team will easily be considered a contender. We still have a few flaws that Im not sure can easily be fixed.
This guy is a real Toronto mans he has the accent, laugh and everything😄. love him so much give him the big contract he's been playing for less his whole career
I’m convinced they wait on these videos until the focused player has a big game because the timing is too good.
Nothing gets me going more than a big goal from Scotty
Have wanted laughton to be a leaf for yearsss, was so glad when they got him his passion/grit is what this team needs
CAT GUY LAUGHTS 🔥🔥🔥
this team became a team over the last couple of days it seems
Sign him
8:03 JT with the "are you okay I'm sorry please don't tell mom" lmao
Gotta love Scott Laughton.
The slapper on the break away made me a huge fan of Scotty. Glad he's hitting his stride.
This man is the best. I don’t know where we would be without him. I love him
19/20 on faceoffs last night. Short handed goal to tie the game. What a beauty! I know we gave up a little much to acquire him.. but he's a strong depth piece and he deserves more credit! Big fan of Laughts
6:05 come again?
Wait! What? His cat's name is Bruce?
Forever contract for this man IMMEDIATELY
Centennial Park Arena one of the best barns in the city
This team is becoming…likeable?
This was arguably the best "Blueprint" I've ever watched. Like, ever. Absolute beauty of a player, as the subject. He embodies the concept of "glue guy". Brilliant behind the scenes footage. Watching Tavares and Matthews (et al) react to his energy is amazing content. And then there's the turnaround time from the most recent game to get this edited and uploaded when the vibes are still 🔥
Kudos to the production crew!!!
To have Laughton score too! So sweet!!💙💙💙
Extend Scottie and bring more GTA guys in!! There’s nothing like a hometown hero
huge goa to tie the game!
usually it's the leafs trading away a good player only to have them return to town and score an important goal, it's nice for the tables to turn
Cutest Cat ever
Scott Laughton is my spirit animal.
Matthews helmet probably felt different because Matthews has a giant big ol head with a bald forehead
Please dont let him slip away Toronto.
I don't play hockey for a living, but i love coworkers who come in with a good positive attitude. They make the work day so much better on those days when it's a slog. Laughts seems like a great guy to work with, and the leafs are lucky to have him
BRAD YOU BETTER SIGN THIS GUY
How can you not like this guy
Scotty is a keeper. His demeanor , wit and skill are what the Leafs need. I can see him coaching down the road.
Bruce!
Wow….that rink is bringing back memories for me aswell!!! Obviously not in the nhl….and to be honest never played any higher than double A for the Etobicoke canucks! But I played many games there against the lightning!! Fun times!!!
Absolute beast !! LIFETIME CONTRACT NOW. LETS GO
I've actually played in this rink before! Also we love scotty!!
If we dont resign him toronto gonna look like vancouver after the finals loss
Fkn beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye.
what a nice guy!
