The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced that they will be delaying the start of the game tonight in order to hold a ceremony for Captain John Tavares, celebrating his career achievement of hitting 1000 points. The ceremony will see his whole family brought on the ice before the game to commemorate his successful career thus far.
Tavares became just the 98th player in NHL history to hit the major milestone when he assisted on the tying goal against his former team the New York Islanders last week at UBS arena.
Leaf fans will be able to give him the celebration he deserves tonight on home ice in front of his family.
