Good on you, Wayne. I've always admired how you've played the game . Especially back in your days with Philadelphia. With the Leafs , I've rarely seen you make a bad play. { coughing up the puck or a bad pass. } Wayne , I compose music for a living. I started doing it seriously when I turned 60. { I am 69 now } Everybody said I was crazy. I've done quite well since. I want to thank you for this video. It is inspirational for anyone in any facet of life. Get a goal tonight against Detroit for me.
Love you on the leafs wayner I use to be a huge Philly fan when they were good and went to the Stanley cup final, I think I cried when they lost. I’m from Ontario so I started cheering for the home team and I’m happy to have you adding some grit to our beloved leafs. I hope you get that cup,
Love u brother
I loved this video it's inspiring
Everyone loves Simmer
What a fcking beauty! Go leafs go!
Love the message and animation. Very happy to have him home and playing for the Leafs.
Since they are forcing inclusion in the nhl, when is MLSE gonna start making videos about inclusion in the nba? Why is the majority of the nba coloured? When are you gonna start asking for inclusion in basketball? Instead your whining about hockey? How stupid are these people? Blacks hate cold weather and don’t like hockey period so stop with this propaganda. Let’s get inclusive in basketball now. With the majority of people white in North America I find it weird that the nba is 90 percent black and none of you are complaining. What a joke
Hard to believe but when Auston and Mitchie were still gearing up for the draft, I met Wayne's aunt Bonnie. I told her that my dream signing would be Wayne. I knew the Leafs would get a soul then. Imagine my delight when the dream came true!
Why aren't there videos like this regarding players other than black in the NBA?
Hell yeah!!! Wayne Train!!
WANYE TRAIN
Go on you Wayne for telling kids they can do it too. Great Canadian.
port union and lawrence ♥️
The inspiring words Wayne used to describe his upbringing and his will to play a game that he always dreamed he’d play. Today, Wayne has become a role model for kids who dream of playing for the NHL one day too. We are so lucky to have him playing for Toronto! 🖤💙🖤
I watched you when you played for Philly and saw a guy that played every minute to the limits of his potential and played with grit and determination at all times. I was very happy when the Leafs got you, because they needed what you had to offer. You may not lead in scoring, but your contributions have been an important part of where the Leafs are today! KEEP GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD!
What an inspiration. Simmonds is one of my favourite players in the NHL and the Leafs!!
Wayne you really did it for the Team…. Showing other Young black kids that they can make it if they put their mind to it. You made the whole black Toronto Proud 🔥🔥🔥. KEEP PUSHING, KEEP GOING. it’s LITT 🔥😬
