Video: Maple Leafs Kurtis Gabriel Happy to Find Sparring Partner in Toronto

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have a much different look this upcoming season as the team has brought in a number of new faces. This includes tough guy Kurtis Gabriel who signed a one-year deal with his hometown Maple Leafs. Gabriel admitted on Friday he's happy he's now found a sparring partner who can keep up.

After a long day of training, the 28-year-old Gabriel released this video, sounds like the Maple Leafs have a new set of bash brothers:
