One of hockey's living legends hasn't forgotten about his connection to a current player young enough to be his son.
Teemu Selanne shared an old photo of himself and Brendan Leipsic, the now-21-year-old forward who's expected to make his NHL debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night against the Vancouver Canucks.

A young Leipsic bonded with Selanne through a family friendship when the two unlikely pals lived in Winnipeg in the 1990s.
The Leafs recalled Leipsic along with forward Jeremy Morin on Saturday afternoon.
