THE LEAFS' SANTA

Today, the 115th Toronto Santa Claus Parade takes place downtown.

Flashback to 2016, when this float featured legendary Toronto Maple Leaf goalie, Johnny Bower. Of all the former or current Leafs that could have been selected, Johnny's likeness was chosen to appear on the float.





There is a long tradition of Johnny Bower being associated with the Christmas season. When Santa made an appearance at a Leaf Christmas party, Johnny couldn't be found, but he suddenly showed up once Santa took flight. Then, there is the classic recording of "Johnny Bower and Little John with the Rinky Dinks, singing Honky the Christmas Goose."
