Re: Toronto Maple Leafs new logo
The service industry has paid numerous independent strong women through college. I'd argue it prepares them for the many facets of behaviour one can face in the world.
I have a San Jose Sharks jersey (sent to me by a client a couple of years ago).
And a Canucks jersey from a game I attended in Van back in December 2003.
Back in Blighty I attended several Guildford Flames-Bracknell Bees games over the years. That was real Hockey. I used to wear my Van jersey to look down on people much like I wear my Spurs top to TFC games.
People often forget (or simply don't know) Britain won the Iced Hockey gold medal in 36. I affectionately regard the "Boys of 36" as the most accomplished side ever to have graced the game:

The first team to be World, Olympic and European Champions.

Re: Toronto Maple Leafs new logo
Some classic games were played between the two. One memorable game was 5-5.
I haven't seen two teams with such a loathing of each other since in professional sport since.
Then when I arrived on my Work Holiday Visa there was a season strike and I never really got back into it after that.
I've never really found people in Toronto to be particularly into Hockey and it is seldom discussed in the office like football is back in England. In fact with a Geordie and an Irishman in spitting distance of me Football is our most discussed sport.
I'll have to research that one. The Soviet Union were quite the team back then.

Re: Toronto Maple Leafs new logo
When I was a child I wore the blue and white touque with the Maple Leaf logo. It seemed that we all wore either Toronto or Montreal colours. Maybe if you just moved over, or live in a mine, you aren't familiar with this classic....
