My Leafs Sweater

"I could see there was going to be a problem. Either you loved the Leafs or you didn't understand". So asserts young Michael in this engaging and beautiful children's picture book. Journey back to 1976 and follow Michael who wants to be just like his hero, Darryl Sittler, captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs. From his living room perch in front of the television and Hockey Night in Canada Michael dreams of playing for the Leafs. We follow him out to the ice rink to play hockey with his friends, from store to store in search of a Leafs sweater and, finally, to the stands at a Leafs game to watch Sittler's extraordinary 10-point game. In the end, Michael learns that there is much more to the love of hockey than just having the sweater of your favorite player. Now available in paperback, My Leafs Sweater is an enduring classic for all fans of the game, young and old.
