As "footy" is to the English, the NFL is to Americans, hockey is to Canadians. Historically, the greatest hockey rivalry has been between the Montreal Canadiens (The Habs) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (The Leafs). So...."what happens when a Toronto Maple Leaf sweater is sent to a young Montreal Canadiens fan by mistake and he is forced to wear it? Terrible things....that are also terribly funny." The story takes place in a small, French-Canadian town in simpler times, when the Church was a big part of life and there were only 6 hockey teams in the NHL (National Hockey League). Toronto, Montreal, Boston, New York, Detroit and Chicago. Now there are 32!
This is a donation from Jessibud for the Canadian Goody Bag that I am taking to the Bookcrossing Convention in Falkirk, Scotland in June.
