A young, wide-eyed Jordan Binnington remembers when Maple Leafs goaltender Curtis Joseph would show up to train at the Franco Canadian Goalie School in Toronto.
"I was a Leafs fan. Growing up in Toronto, you pretty much had to be," Binnington told stlouisblues.com. "My dad put me in that goalie school for nine weeks every summer for six or seven years, and there were some days when 'Cujo' would come in and train there. He would bring a 24-pack of waters on the ice with him. Not very eco-friendly nowadays but you get the point. It was great for us young goalies to be able to see him work like that. He had a unique competitive style. I liked his helmet, his pads. I was a fan."
