"Alexei Ponikarovsky missed practice on Monday but the Toronto Maple Leafs winger is not injured, he is a new father.
Leafs head coach Ron Wilson excused Ponikarovsky from practice so he could be with his wife, who gave birth to a boy at 3 a.m. Monday morning. Ponikarovsky will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
“He had a boy,” Wilson said and then turned deadpan. “He named it Ron.”
Grat Poni!:-)) |
