McKenna took the ice for the first time in a Maple Leafs uniform Thursday, joining his fellow prospects for the start of development camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you’re out there, it’s pretty easy to be dialed in,\u201d he said Thursday. \u201cIt’s the game I’ve played my entire life. So, when I’m out there, I’m having fun, I feel comfortable and confident. And then, off the ice, you kind of want to let go and hang out with your buddies and get to know everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust enjoy the city and the time I got here.\u201d<\/p>\n
