Family names newborn after Maple Leafs' Nazem Kadri

Oh baby, what a rewarding few days for Nazem Kadri.
He pulled off Tuesday’s overtime winner in a 1-on-1 battle with Connor McDavid — and had a baby named after him.
Mistey Amey (@momma_amey) tweeted a picture at 4:45 a.m. last Thursday that Kadri Lee Amy was born and named after the Leaf centre, who responded on his own account with a "Wish you all the best" tweet.
“It’s definitely surreal,” Kadri told reporters after Wednesday’s practice. “I guess it’s pretty cool they want to name their kid after my last name. That’s a first. That’s something that’s going on the birth certificate, something forever.
"In the Toronto market, you’re considered a role model.”
A follow-up tweet from a Kadri associate to the new mom reminded her that Nazem takes his name from his late grandfather, a hard-working immigrant from Lebanon whom everyone in the family still reveres as “the original Nazem Kadri”.
Leaf great Ron Ellis still exchanges Christmas cards with a man who was named Ron Ellis Lucas in his honour for his play during the 1960s.

TORONTO - A new year, a new Leaf sweater.
If you’ve had trouble keeping up with the design changes the past couple of seasons, the hockey club has one more tweak, this for public sale for the Centennial Classic on Jan. 1 at BMO Field against the Detroit Red Wings.
Unveiled Monday, the sweater will have “a signature look for the occasion, combining important elements of our club’s past, but also our present and future,” said club president Brendan Shanahan in a release.
“This unique sweater will be an important part of those memories.”
Retaining the ‘Honour, Pride and Courage’ motto stitched into the back of the neck for sweaters in the 2016-17 season, the franchise’s 100th, the special edition model is marked by a horizontal singular band of white across the body linking it to the Toronto St. Patricks’ jersey worn from 1922-1925. The pants will have a white Toronto Arenas ‘T’, for the city’s first NHL franchise.
The sweaters are now available online now at Shop.NHL.com - Buy NHL Apparel & Gear at The Official Online Store of the NHL and at http://shop.realsports.ca and available for purchase in-store beginning Tuesday.
