Now I skate in Maple Leaf Gardens only in my memories, but what damned fine memories they were!
..... Took this "Herringchoker" from Nova Scotia a long time to even learn to spell Mississauga. I should have found a place in York.

Dave ... I definitely know how to spell Mississauga since I was living there for 20 years and am STILL homesick even after 3 years away (2 in St. Catharines and 1 in Niagara Falls)!
(sigh).
A little background for ya ... I was born in Toronto and spent the first 8 years of my life in Mimico and New Toronto. Then went to Etobicoke from 8-18 years of age then to Mississauga from 18-38 years of age! then to St. Catharines from 38-40 years of age and then to Niagara Falls from 40-41 years "young".
Holy Cripes, I've been a Leafs fan since I was a baby and used to attend their games at Maple Leaf Gardens all the time when I was a kid! One almost has to take out a loan to go watch them play now at the ACC (Air Canada Centre). Cheaper to watch them on Leafs TV!
btw - if anyone is interested, Toronto is pronouned "Tronna" or "Tronno", NOT Tor-on-toe!
This is the #1 way to tell a native Torontonian from a tourist/visitor!
(hee hee!).
