Every Toronto Maple Leafs fan has a soft spot for Leo Komarov and it’s been that way ever since his first stint with the team during the 2012-13 season. Known throughout Leafs Nation as ‘Uncle Leo’, Komarov is everyone’s favourite uncle because of his personality and sense of humour. With the Maple Leafs set to play the Detroit Red Wings in the Centennial Classic on New Year’s Day, Komarov decided to wander the grounds on Friday afternoon and managed to get access to the Toronto Argonauts’ locker room in the meantime.

Turns out Komarov was a big fan of the helmet and really liked the way it looked, so he decided to keep it on during his tour as you can tell in this photo from Auston Matthews' Snapchat.

It’s a good look for Komarov, but we’re guessing he’d rather strap on the hockey equipment rather than the football equipment. Don’t expect him to hit the ice wearing an Argonauts helmet on Sunday afternoon.
