Maple Leaf Jerseys Could Be Next


It's a new law that's never been used until now.
A Saskatoon member of the Hell's Angels is up against charges for wearing his Angel's vest inside a public place.
A new law, The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act - prohibs that.
There are now unconfirmed reports that if the new law is successful Toronto Maple Leaf jerseys could be next.
You know those jerseys that have never won anything in 42 years but have Torontonians, the CBC and most eastern broadcasters clinging to the hope that next year, next year for sure will be the Leafs year.
The Leafs last won the Stanley Cup in 1967. It was easier then. Only six teams but in the 42 years since the Montreal Canadiens have won the Cup 10 times. The Edmonton Oilers joined the league in 1979 and have won five cups since and even the
Ottawa Senators and the Vancouver Canucks have managed to get to the final once, something the Leafs have not even managed to do.
Want more? The Toronto Blue Jays joined major league baseball in 1977 and have made it to the World Series twice and if you
follow baseball where only a handful of teams qualify for postseason play, that is not an easy feat.
But back to the Leafs jersey thing. We will wait until the Hell's Angels challenge is completed and then perhaps the Leafs will be next. More than likely though we'll see Hamilton winning a Stanley Cup before that happens.

Ok I'm a political junkie. Provincial, federal, world - I follow it all. Also enjoy talk radio

Kind of said most of it above. I do love to travel though. Would love to visit every major city out there. Enjoy learning the culture of other countries. I'm a people watcher and a people person. Some say I love to talk and I guess that would be accurate
