The Toronto Maple Leafs recently mourned the loss of performance coach Greg Harden, whose mentorship deeply impacted many athletes.
One player particularly impacted by this loss is Max Domi, who shared a moving tribute on his Instagram page alongside images of the two together. Domi's words reflected Harden's enduring influence on his life:
"I hope I can make you proud. You have my word that I will give 100%, 100% of the time. I will be a proud Greg Harden student for the rest of my life."
'Defence wins championships. The value of a hard conversation is worth every bit of pain if it helps the team. It takes everyone. Physical, Mental, Emotional & Spiritual strength. You can't be a winner as a bunch of individual boys, you can only win when you decide to become a group of men that care more about the guy next to them or across from them than themselves.'
'50% mental, 50% intentional. It's all mental son. You gotta believe.' We got unfinished business, you know that. I can't wait to tell you all about it one day. See you on the other side G. Rest easy. Love you my brother.''
