From TSN:

The Globe and Mail is reporting that the Toronto Maple Leafs have granted a tryout to one-time Leaf Jason Allison.

The report says that the 34-year old, who has not played in the NHL since the 2005-06 season, will attend the Leafs' camp without a contract. The Globe says that Allison approached the team about the idea over the summer and Toronto agreed to have a look at him.

 

Just a bit of an interesting story here, I thought. Here's a guy who averaged a solid point-per-game in the most clutchingest, grabbingest hockey there was, pre-lockout. Some terrible injuries sidelined him for quite some time. I wish him all the best - this could be a real feel-good story if Allison was to make the team.
