The World Junior Summer Showcase is on and two Maple Leafs prospects are in the tournament for Hockey Canada, Easton Cowan and Noah Chadwick, and while there's no clips yet, they are talking to the media, and so are their friends.
Denver Barkey on London Knights teammate and #LeafsForever prospect Easton Cowan:

"He's got never-ending energy, a continous motor. He's extremely gifted, extremely talented. He's quick, strong, he's got that all going for him. I struggle with him (at practice)."
And here's Leafs draft pick Noah Chadwick in his own words.
Canada plays the USA today (Saturday) at 4:00 p.m.

And a reminder to all that this weekend is the Caribbean Carnival, formerly known as Caribana. Lake Shore Blvd. is closed west of Bathurst Street for all of Saturday for the Grand Parade which runs all day, but peaks around noon and then ends at 8:00 p.m.. I could already see on Friday evening the City is packed full with tourists both for the Carnival and regular long weekend visitors. Expect travelling anywhere downtown to take much more time than normal.
Have a nice long weekend. Stay cool and hydrated.
