Growing up, Abrar Al Mouktaran and Brittany Morrison didn't know anything about hockey.
A resident of Syria, Al Mouktaran, 23, says she didn't know the sport existed. Morrison too, a resident of Jamaica, says she had no knowledge of the game.
Now, both young women say they have learned how to play hockey and have fallen in love with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Al Mouktaran moved to Canada with her family in 2016, while Morrison, 19, came here with her family in 2017.
The two are among many new Canadians who have become huge fans of the team.
When the Leafs try to win their first playoff series in 19 years on Thursday, Al Mouktaran and Morrison said they will be watching and hope history will be made.
