Over time, I aim to include some of the old interviews I did with players and executives from the hockey world, dating back to the mid-1970s and early 80s. It’s fun to harken back to conversations I had 30 years or so ago. Just click on the audio link and enjoy.

I Interviewed Hall-of-Famer Rocket Richard a few times in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. The former Montreal Canadiens great was always generous with his time, and engaging to speak with. This interview was done in the early 1980’s. Although this isn't an interview with a Leaf (I have some such interviews that I plan to post in the future), Richard was certainly a key player in the classic Montreal-Leaf rivalry. I hope you'll find it's an enjoyable listen.
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....
1962 Leaf Calendar
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.
