Last Marlboros Game @ Maple Leaf Gardens 1989

This is me on the left in the blue shirt and mullet, age 15, sitting front row beside the penalty box as future Pittsburgh Penguin goon, Mark Major is about to enter the box for tripping, as part of the visiting Kingston Raiders, during the last regular season OHL game at MLG for the 63 year tenant, the Toronto Marlboros. I missed very few games that year and always sat in the rail seat right beside the penalty box, where over the year, I spent many moments sitting beside future NHLers Rob Cimetta, Mike Craig, Drake Berehowsky, Dale Craigwell, Mark Major, Mike Ricci, Andrew Cassels, Chris Govedaris, and of course, Tie Domi! Ah, the fun memories!
