Maple Leafs Goalie Joseph Woll Gives Back in a Huge Way For Very Important Cause
After researching which cause he wanted to partner with, Maple Leafs' goaltender Joseph Woll has given back to the Greater Toronto Area in a big way.
After a torrid start, many fans and analysts felt that Anthony Stolarz would get the bulk of the work between the pipes for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season. But, injuries had other plans, and teammate Joseph Woll ended up carrying half of the load with 42 games.
It turned into a career year in wins (27) for the 27-year-old Woll, and it means the Greater Toronto Area also wins due to a partnership he made with the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH) back in February -- something he thought long and hard about before deciding on the organization.
"I reached out a few years ago, to see if there was anything I could get involved with, exploring a little bit of what I might be able to do in terms of raising awareness for mental health and mental health initiatives," Woll told NHLPA.com. "Through those conversations came a wonderful opportunity to work together."
Maple Leafs Goalie Joseph Woll Gives Back to the Community in Partnership with CAMH
Woll, who recently earned high praise from two-time Stanley Cup Champion Matt Murray, has now made good on his promise, donating $80,000 to CAMH. The figure represented $5000 for every win he had at Scotiabank Arena in 2024-25.
"Mental health, in a way, is universal to humans, regardless of who you are or where you are. It instantly connects you. I think there is a lot of strength and a lot of value to having honest conversations about your experiences and what you have learned along the way."
Woll has come a long way since being drafted by the Maple Leafs in 2016, and it's for that reason that the native of Missouri said he wanted to give back locally. What a wonderful way to contribute and give back.
