Welcome to Vintage Leaf Memories

This site has been developed with the “old days” as its primary focus and memories of the Toronto Maple Leafs in particular.

I was born in 1953, so the time period I most want to focus on is from the mid- 1950’s to the early 80’s. Anything later than that is not “vintage”, in my mind.

In the initial stages this will be a site that largely brings together my recollections of being a Maple Leaf fan in the late 50’s and early 1960’s and on into the 1970’s....

In the fall of 1962, when I had just turned 9, I sent for and received the Leafs annual calendar. The 1962-’63 edition remains my favorite as it features a picture of the 1961-’62 Cup winning team on the front.
