If the leafs are anything of what I know from hanging with half of the old St. Mike's alumni, it's an old-boys club pure and simple.

Because I hang with a St. Mike's alumnus, I, in my 1st year of living in Toronto had a notory public, employment laywer, accountant at my disposal for the princely sum of an occasional pint.

and these are all hockey boys who are friends, or know people who hang out with what seems half the leafs.

Granted, I'm not THAT in to be invited to Lindros' cottage parties, but it's quit mafia how they seem to be all connected.

p.s. I agree, hockey goes on waaaay too long. It's a WINTER sport, not a fall, winter, spring, and half of summer sport.
