Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans!

Training Camp hits the ice today with the first session at the Ford Performance Centre as the 73(!) players the Leafs invited to camp prepare for the first pre-season game against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday in Ottawa.

Not all 73 players will play, and I'm sure cuts will come ahead of time, but the early pre-season games usually aren't filled with more than the minimum amount of NHLers required to play, so it may be some players only shot at being a Maple Leaf.

[What I want to get out of training campI’ll be in the best shape of my life! (LOL)![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/icon/PPP-Goalie-Logo_RGB-315.png)PPP LeafsCathy Squires![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/thumbnail/photo-1504280390367-361c6d9f38f4-1)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/what-i-want-to-get-out-of-training-camp/)

After that more cuts, more cuts, maybe a surprise PTO, and more cuts.

Ita the hardest part of any coach's job.

So, let's cut to the news.

And hopefully this means the Leafs won't play him injured this time.

His health will be a main topic all season. Hopefully he's also looking past the Olympics.

The department of weights and measures has put out a statement on the Leafs roster.

Max Domi is sitting out the start of camp with an injury. I dunno, I mean if I was making guaranteed roster spot money I may be "injured" to start camp too. So much skating.

In my experience as a shop steward, I have large doubts these guys read the CBA.

Mark Giordano is setting up his post-playing life with a role in the Maple Leafs Organization.

Finally, the Utah Mammoth had a very good turnaround time on their new practice facility. Now to start on the hockey specific arena. Tick tock, the 2030 Olympics are coming fast.
