Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Generations have come to marvel and celebrate spectacles of all kinds at Maple Leaf Gardens. With its soaring roof and massive walls, this iconic building tells a story with an unlikely beginning and an ending yet to be written. Built against all odds, in the grip of the Great Depression, the Gardens went on to host 2,533 hockey games, with the Toronto Maple Leafsâ final regular season record 1,215 wins, 768 losses, and 346 ties. When it closed in 1999, it was the last Original Six arena still standing and remains in use for hockey today as Ryerson Universityâs Mattamy Athletic Centre. In Welcome to Maple Leaf Gardens, Graig Abel and Lance Hornby have composed a rare, stunning, and historically invaluable tribute to what many would consider the Mecca of Canadian sport. Abelâs years as the Maple Leafsâ photographer make him the perfect guide for sports fans, music lovers, and star-gazers. Readers will experience the buildingâs many innovative features from the rafters to the clock, from the rinkside gold seats right up to the greys, where the Âreal fansâ sat. Alongside Abelâs humorous first-hand stories about Harold Ballard, Doug Gilmour, and the celebrities who frequented the Gardens, Hornby gives a press box perspective on covering the Leafs at the end of the Gardensâ eventful era and the buildingâs place in history.
