The Leafs were spotted on the subway this afternoon on their way to their annual outdoor practice at Nathan Phillips Square. They of course were hard to miss since they were in their full uniforms, just minus the skates.

This has become a bit of a tradition for the team. Last year they rode the TTC to get to the event as well.

Favourites like Austin Matthews, Mitch Marner, and team captain John Tavares were all on board a packed subway car Thursday afternoon.
