Ryan O'Reilly is a Toronto Maple Leaf. This is going to take a while to get used to, but it is very real now.

As a member of the St. Louis Blues, he won a Stanley Cup, as well as a Selke Trophy and a Conn Smythe Trophy. He was equally the teams' captain, and on his last day as a Blue, he spent it in the best way.

In 2020, a young boy names Hank Walker chose his Make-a-Wish to be to play with Ryan O'Reilly and the Blues. Thus, the Blues signed him to a one-day contract, and he got to take the ice with his favourite team.

O'Reilly showed Hank the basics, such as how to throw a crushing bodycheck:

The Leafs are getting more than a great player in this deal. They're also getting an amazing person.

The two spent the day together, and it will be a memory of a lifetime - for both Hank, and Ryan O'Reilly.
