Leafs prospect Rodion Amirov is owning his battle with cancer so far; here's his latest video
Last month, the Leafs made a very tragic announcement regarding 2020 15th overall pick Rodion Amirov. At just 20 years old, Amirov was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The Russian winger has not let his diagnosis get him down, which is very inspiring. Amirov has been active on social media to keep everyone looped in on his fight against cancer.
On Thursday morning, Amirov shared a fun instagram video of before and after his head shave. You can check out the video below:
Obviously, everyone in Leafs Nation is pulling for the top prospect. There have been several NHLers who have battled and beat cancer over the years, including Mario Lemieux, Brian Boyle, Oskar Lindblom and Saku Koivu.
