Breaking news : William and Alex Are Excited About Playing Together on the Maple Leafs

 

With a tip of the hat to the 1979 classic soul hit “Reunited” by Peaches & Herb, watching the video of William Nylander talking about playing with his brother Alex and Alex talking about playing with William, you get a sense that it really does feel good for these two brothers to be able to play together on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

 

The Maple Leafs recently made a personal move for the two brothers, William and Alex. After Alex signed with the team, both expressed their joy and excitement about finally having the chance to play together at the NHL level. In a heartfelt interview, the brothers shared their thoughts, describing how much the opportunity means to them

 

Maple Leafs star William recalled how he found out about his brother’s signing. He shared a touching moment with their father, Michael Nylander, a former NHL player, as they learned the news. William described it as “a very special moment,” noting how rare and meaningful it is for hockey-playing brothers to unite in the NHL.

 

 

Alex echoed this sentiment, noting that he was “really excited.” He was also ready to work hard to contribute to the team. For both, this is an athletic milestone and a family achievement

 

The Maple Leafs announced the signing of Alexander Nylander to a one-year, $775,000 deal after his strong performance with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies. There, he scored eight goals and added four assists in 14 games. This move adds depth to the Maple Leafs roster and opens the door to an exciting possibility: seeing Alex share the ice with his brother, William Nylander.
