The Toronto Maple Leafs didn't have a first round selection in the NHL Draft this past weekend, so their first pick came in the second round and with that pick, they took Nick Robertson of the Peterborough Petes.

The Michigan native recorded 55 points last season with the Petes and as we discovered Tuesday, he also has a bit of a history with Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock in the form of, wait for it, trick-or-treating.

 

From candy to ice time: Robertson recalls trick or treating at Babcock's house

Growing up in the Detroit area, Nick Robertson's family lived in the same neighbourhood as then Red Wings coach Mike Babcock. So, the junior hockey player threw on his Pavel Datsyuk and went door-to-door looking for the NHL bench boss eventually finding the right door. Now the 17-year-old Peterborough Petes forward is hoping to play for Babcock's Leafs, who picked the winger in the second round in Saturday's draft.

As incredible as that story is, it pales in comparison to Robertson's story of survival and how he beat the odds after being born three months premature to get to where he is today.
