Leafs fans are going wild about possible 'Chicken Shop Date' collab
Amelia Dimoldenberg sure has a way to get Toronto Maple Leafs fans talking.
The host of the popular web series Chicken Shop Date posted a series of tweets earlier this week looking to get in touch with both the Leafs and the NHL.
@NHL Hello! What is the best email to get in contact with you? Thanks so much !

Starting in 2014, Dimoldenberg takes guests on a one-on-one meal at a chicken shop while chatting about their careers, lives, and anything in between.
While the show began with UK celebrities, it's since gone worldwide, as past guests for the show include Ed Sheeran, Jack Harlow, Jennifer Lawrence, Lewis Capaldi, and Burna Boy, among countless other celebrities.
Though the posts on X didn't reveal any plans for a Leafs player to appear on the show, it's clear she's looking to do some sort of content with a hockey player.
And Leafs fans certainly took the inquiry from Dimoldenberg as an invitation to speculate about who could exactly be on the show, particularly after the Leafs X account gave the host a follow back.
Auston Matthews seemed to be the most likely candidate, given his track record of NHL success and name value across the world.
Give us the Auston Matthews Chicken Shop date! https://t.co/K1a1jKPlD8

However, fans were clamouring for a collab with plenty of other players, with William Nylander also earning plenty of attention.

Interestingly, it wouldn't actually be the first Leafs connection to Chicken Shop Date. Earlier in 2023, rapper Central Cee rocked a Leafs hoodie on his episode of the show.
In any case, we should have an answer soon enough about whether Dimoldenberg was successful in getting in touch with Toronto's beloved hockey team.
