Mr. McKenna, we want to know what you have been up to since being drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The phenom has been busy since Justin Bieber announced that the Maple Leafs picked him. Before the draft, Gavin McKenna was seen at a FIFA World Cup match in Toronto and at the Cwench Hydration Centre.

Playing with Turtles

Naturally, he went out to golf to celebrate with Penn State’s own Lev Katzin. During the outing, McKenna reconnected with nature by catching a turtle. He is really becoming the people’s princess right before our eyes.

Enjoying Pickleball
