Leaf Fan

I'm still loyal, just UPSET!

Who We Are

Today, at the age of 47, Dave Armstrong can remember being an eight year old, devoted fan, of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He never missed a televised game of the 'original six' , staying tuned to the TV every Wednesday and Saturday night.

Regretfully, Dave has been waiting since 1967 for the Leafs to win another Stanley Cup. Although Dave is very frustrated about this LONG wait, Dave continues to be a patient and loyal fan to his team.

Albert!

While running a sporting good store in Burlington, in 1985, Dave came up with the concept. A regular customer came into the store and offered Dave free Leaf tickets. As the Leafs were in last place, Dave's response was: 'I'd have to wear a bag over my head if I went to a game'. After making this statement, a light bulb went off in Dave's head as he thought; what better way then to make up some bags, to protest how badly my team is doing?! People may recall in the Toronto media, back in 1985, Harold Ballard lighting up a flame to one of 'the Albert I need you' bags.

Here we are, 23 years later and still no Stanley Cup.....so Dave has decided to revive the concept, but this time he wants to make a statement about his frustration AND help SickKids at the same time. This is an inexpensive way of helping some children and letting the Toronto Maple Leaf organization know how disappointed we all are.
