The Hockey Sweater – How I became a Toronto Maple Leaf fan…more or less

How did I become a Maple Leaf fan? Here’s Howe. (That’s from a hockey instructional book that I still have, supposedly written by Gordie Howe, titled ‘Hockey, Here’s Howe’.

My Mom was definitely ahead of her time, despite her constant jabs at me for being a Toronto fan. You’ll get the point of that after you listen to the podcast. She was a feminist, felt strongly about women’s rights and, I guess, instilled that in me. Additionally, she was against discrimination of any kind, something that I feel just as strongly about.

Here’s a link to the Roch Carrier story I mention : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hockey_Sweater

Note: I forgot the Chicago Black Hawks in my list of the original six. Oops!
