Maple Leafs defender Simon Benoit absolutely shredded in summer training video

Benoit became a regular in the Maple Leafs' lineup during the 2023-24 season. He appeared in 64 games and recorded 5 points. While he isn't known for his offensive production, Benoit excels with his strong puck play, physicality, and shot-blocking ability. He's also known for his big hits and willingness to battle in the dirty areas.

It seems Benoit has been ramping up his training of late. He recently shared a workout video on his Instagram story (@simon_benoit11) and was featured in his trainer's Instagram story as well (@jonchaimberg).

The Hockey News article 'Maple Leafs Defenseman Simon Benoit Pushes Limits in Intense Workout Video' captures Benoit's contribution to the Maple Leafs perfectly:

Despite playing in just 64 games, Benoit led the team with 246 hits. He embodies the type of player the Maple Leafs have been missing in recent years and is an ideal player for the playoffs.

Benoit signed a three-year extension with the Maple Leafs during the season, worth $1.35 million per year. It's clear that his presence on the team is a positive one, as he continues to be a menace on the ice.
