Troy Stecher on the perks of being a Maple Leaf: "I've played for multiple teams, so I can compare... You are not treated that well across the league in many spots, if any"

"I won't say too much. I think Biz said it pretty well on the panel. There is a kind of difference between the rabbit punches in a scrum and a full-on uppercut. I am sure something will happen, whether a suspension or a fine. He is going to have to answer the bell next year. That is kind of a code that runs across the league. You don't do something like that."

"When I came in, there were a lot of injuries, especially on the backend. I stepped in right away and just played. I felt like I played well in the first three or four games, and from that, you get confidence. I ran with it for six or eight weeks there at the start."

"My overall assessment of my year is that I was proud to prove to people in the hockey world that I can continue to play. You kind of double down on that."
