TORONTO - Owen Power drifted to the center of the circle, his new teammates shouting and clapping their sticks against the ice around him.
Power had just completed his first full NHL practice amid the familiar surroundings of the Ford Performance Center, a four-rink complex that doubles as the Toronto Maple Leafs' practice facility. His parents, Zee and Trish, watched from the other side of the glass.
"I grew up in this building," Power said with a smile.
