I’m sure most of you have certain Maple Leaf memories that really
stand out—moments, events, goals, big hits, whatever—that you have never
forgotten. Good or bad, joyful or distressing, most of us who have a serious
rooting interest in a particular team remember these things, for whatever
reason. It’s not always stuff like Cup-winning goals. It can be something really minor, but it stays with us nonetheless.
I also include recalling exactly where I was when one of the
most famous trades in Leaf history was announced (at least when I first found
out about it), involving longtime Leaf great Frank Mahovlich, hockey’s “Big
M”. I was fourteen at the time and it
was a shocking deal for most Leaf fans, occurring as it did less than a year
after the Leafs had won the Stanley Cup. (That's Mahovlich, right, in early 1960s action against the Hawks and "Moose" Vasko, Glenn Hall and Pierre Pilote.)
Maybe listening to the program will trigger some of your own
hockey memories!
I hope you enjoy Episode 15.
