Like when he played for the Toronto Maple Leafs (1946-47 to 1954-55), Howie Meeker was in the middle of the action when this photo of the Leafs' alumni was taken. He was in Newfoundland when the alumni faced a team stocked with those belonging to the Canadian Forces. The game took place at the Mile One Centre in St. John's. The Leafs held a portion their 2019 training camp in Paradise, NL.
At the age of 95, Meeker is the oldest living former Toronto Maple Leaf. In September 1958, Meeker moved to St. John's to join the Guards Athletic Association. He handled all levels of their hockey program. In particular, the junior, senior and high school teams.
