Leafs unveil a shoulder patch to honour Börje Salming

Today marks the first Leafs game since the announcement of Börje Salming’s passing. The Leafs have wasted no time in paying tribute to him with a beautiful shoulder patch for their jersey.

The Leafs choosing to pay tribute to not only Salming’s legacy as a Leaf but as his legacy to Swedish hockey is a touching one and this is truly a thoughtful gesture.

I hope the Leafs will make jerseys with this patch available to the public, ideally with a portion of the sales going towards Salming’s foundation or the ALS Society of Canada.
