The Leafs Prospect Who Was Diagnosed With Brain Tumour Shares Huge Update

Rodion Amirov was selected 15 overall in the 2020 NHL Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, and has gone through a significant health issue since.

The 20-year-old native of Salavat, Russia., was diagnosed with a brain tumour, which he has been seeking care for.

A video emerged recently of just how determined and driven Amirov has been despite his big health scare.

I don't know about everybody else, but sports are just a fantastic place for everybody to connect, and when a story emerges about a young player, who has stayed focused and determined despite his own personal issues. It's amazing, and it's certainly an emotional story.
