Great Maple Leafs content in this episode from spring of 2018 when Paul and Andy host Kincardine native Scott McKay who was equipment manager for the Leafs for more than 10 years. Can you guess which NHLer he sometimes had to tie the skates for? McKay has also worked for the NHL Alumni Association and been involved in several other interesting initiatives. Steve joins us in the 2nd half when the recent hiring of Kyle Dubas really grabbed our attention!
