I recently had the opportunity to chat with former Maple Leaf defenseman Jim Dorey. Jim spoke with me from his office in Kingston, Ontario.
Dorey spent four seasons as a Leaf, beginning in 1968-’69, and wore the jersey with pride. He spent the bulk of his career in the World Hockey Association, but I will always remember his time in blue and white. He shares some great memories. Click below to 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.
