RIP Rodion
It is we great sadness that we announce the passing of Rodion Amirov. Two years ago, Rodion was diagnosed with a brain tumour. From the moment he received the news, he refused to speak in the negative, determined to enjoy every day, facing it with the same positive attitude he… pic.twitter.com/ye6TdAjGZc

RIP _/
I didn’t realize it was that bad. For some reason reports had me believing he was progressing well. This is genuinely heartbreaking.
Fuck cancer. RIP Rodion
FUCK man.
I didn’t care if he never played for the leafs, this entire fan base just wanted a young kid to live his life. So much fucking potential for anything he chose to do.
​
But the thing I’ll remember him for – which all leafs and humans should aspire to is, the fucking positivity he showed in his fight man. Just fearless and positive knowing he was going through hell.
​
RIP Rodya.

First salming now him – it’s been a year boys 🙁
FUCK CANCER!!!
This is absolutely heartbreaking
What? Noooo! Fuck cancer…
I remember the loud cheer he got during last season’s home opener. I really thought that he is recovering well. Terrible news
This hit me like a ton of bricks. 21-years-old… so sad. RIP.
Just awful, RIP Rodion.
This fucking sucks.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. RIP
Oh that’s just awful… way too young to be taken from this world that way. Rest easy Rodion. 😞
This is a fucking gutpunch
I thought he was on the upswing. Horrific, poor kid and family. How have we not yet solved cancer but still pour billions into fighting.
Oh my god, this is devastating, saw the notification pop up on my phone and I literally went into shock, this is horrible. I feel so bad for Rodion and his family. Truly tragic.
Can’t believe this happened…f**k cancer
RIP Rodion, so sorry you never got to wear the Maple Leafs sweater, life’s just so unfair sometimes…
We’ll never forget your fight and positivity in all of this!
From all the reports Ive read, Rodion was battling glioblastoma.
This is one of the deadliest and most underfunded cancers that exist. Treatment methods have not changed in over 20 years and survival rates for individuals in his age range are only 20%.
This is a cause very close to me so if you want to learn more or have any opportunity to donate please consider the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada
This is fucking heartbreaking. I just let out the biggest « no » I’ve said in recent memory.
We were all rooting for him, and this is the biggest gut punch. I’m so grateful he had that wonderful experience being around the team and getting that amazing standing ovation at a game!
Fuck cancer. Fuck the way this universe operates.
Proud that Dubas and the organization brought him to Toronto and let him experience his name being called at Scotiabank Arena on opening night. From an outside perspective it seemed like they tried to include him wherever possible. Makes you appreciate Dubas even more on days like these. RIP Rodion.
Seeing that 2001-2023 is heartbreaking 🙁
Rest in peace Rodion 🙏🏻❤️
