TORONTO (CP) _ As he strode across the visitor's locker room at Air Canada Centre, New York Islanders forward John Tavares found a wrapped package in his stall with his name on it. He opened the brown paper and read the note inside. He flashed a wry smile, looked the gift over once quickly then stuffed it in his bag.
The reserved star would have forgotten all about it if the throng of Canadian reporters following him from the second he arrived at the airport didn't immediately start firing questions at him.
What's in the box? It was a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey with Tavares' name and the number "1" on the back. And the giver: none other than former Leafs' GM Brian Burke.
"Caught me a little by surprise but it's a great gift and I appreciate it. I'll thank Mr. Burke personally," said Tavares, who was gracious and respectful. "I'm not sure why he gave it to me, but I guess I'll keep it. I grew up a Leafs fans, so, um, it's kinda cool."
