The Leafs on CHCH Circa 1986

memory

YouTube user WNED17 recently uploaded some fantastic retro-Toronto-centric gems.  These clips have brought back a tonne of memories for me, so I'm going to feature them one by one over the next few weeks.

Here's a Maple Leaf game promo from 1986.  The game was aired on CHCH TV out of Hamilton and, judging from the clip, the play-by-play was by Jim Hughson.

This clip features a great goal by Peter Ihnacak while reminding us that the boards at Maple Leaf Gardens at the time were completely bare.  As an added bonus, there's a promo for Don Cherry's Grapevine tagged on the end with goalie Don Edwards who was sharing duties at the time with Ken Wregget and Allan Bester.
