"I've really been blown away at how much support I've received and with that, a big thank you to my teammates as well and I've express that to them. Just for all the support they've given. And lastly, I want to thank you guys. I know I asked for privacy and you guys (Leafs media) have granted me that, so I really appreciate that as well."
"As we move forward now, I've kind of decided that all I'm going to say about my time away is that I'm disappointed to have missed time and very happy to be back. So, I'd really like all the focus to be on my job to do here and I don't want to create any distractions for myself or for the team."
Joseph Woll returned to the ice this week after a personal matter kept him away since Sept. 23. He met with media for the first time since returning and opened his remarks by thanking Brad Treliving, the Leafs organization, teammates and the media for respecting his request for privacy. Woll said he had been blown away by the support he and his family received. He declined to disclose specifics about the personal matter, saying only that he was disappointed to miss time and very happy to be back. Woll asked that attention stay on his role with the team and said he would speak further only if and when he chooses.
