The Toronto Maple Leafs added standout goaltender Adam Manji to their development camp roster after a stellar season with American International College.
Per Maple Leafs analyst and reporter Nick Barden, the Toronto Maple Leafs have added goaltender Adam Manji to their development camp roster on Friday afternoon.
The 21-year old Manji had a short season with the AHA (Atlantic Hockey America); an NCAA Division I Conference.
In seven games with the school, he posted a 2-1-0 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .921 SV%.
Previous to that, he spent three seasons in Coquitlam with the Express of the BCHL, posting a 36-30-13 record.
At 6'5, he fits the criteria for the Maple Leafs and matches their sizeable goaltending group with has the likes of Dennis Hildeby, and Anthony Stolarz who are 6'7, and 6'6 respectively.
There's no guarantee that Manji will end up playing with the Maple Leafs, and might end up staking a claim for a shot on the Marlies or perhaps even Cincinnati of the ECHL.
According to The Scouting News, Manji is primed to be a solid contender who might reach the NHL at some point:
There's very high upside for this goaltending prospect. Ge's getting more athletic, a bit of a late developer.
He's really come into his own, but I like the confidence level that he's playing with this year.
He moves well for a bigger man, he's got an athletic frame, and he gets across the crease really well. He's put on a little weight, he's getting stronger, and his game has just started to come along right now.
The thing I like the most about him is that he's very athletic, he's composed, he's a very hard worker, and he's committed to being the best goalie that he can be. Clearly, this is a guy who will have a very good future moving forward.

This is the type of player that Toronto wants in their ranks, a focused and motivated person who has the passion to do what's necessary to help his team win.
Welcome aboard, Adam Manji; it's your time to shine.
