The son of a Hanson Brother joins the Leafs

The only details I got were through ESPN here. Maybe there’s more in the Toronto paper I have bookmarked (I can’t remember if it’s the Star or the Sun) but he should still make the news there because Canadians are just as crazy about Slap Shot as we are. Besides, the Leafs are out of the playoffs already, their fans need something to cheer them up. I only hope Christian Hanson succeeds in having a great NHL career without having to ride the coat tails of his dad and uncle; goons are out of fashion now.

And no, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke.

Update Apr. 1, 2009: It’s the Toronto Star I have bookmarked and they had more details over the announcement of #20 joining their team.
