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 player and enjoy.

Tiger Williams was a good Leaf in the mid and later 1970’s. Twice I had the opportunity to interview him, once in 1976 when he was in his first full season with Toronto, and then as he was preparing to play with Vancouver in the 1982 Cup finals. That's the interview we feature here.
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.
