The Ultimate Leafs Fan
About Mike Wilson
Mike and his partner Debra are well known in the hockey community. Their 1000 square foot basement, known as "The Room" looked more like the Hockey Hall of Fame than a “man cave”, hosting a lifetime’s collection of artifacts. They used their unique collection to host fundraising events for years, raising over $2 million dollars for various charities. The collection was the backdrop for events that saw legends like Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Chris Hatfield, Brendan Shanahan, Johnny Bower and many more. Over 80 Maple Leafs past and present toured“The Room”.
But after selling most of the collection to the Museum of History in Ottawa, Mike found a new way to acquire personal Leaf Nation stories base on his beloved team and share them.
“Leafs fans are the most passionate and dedicated sports fans on the planet.” Says Mike. “No matter where you go, the Blue and White are in full force and they have stories to tell. I talk to Leafs fans every single day and there is so much untold history from their perspective.”
The veteran author has shared the stories he collected through blogs, videos and his book ‘The Ultimate Road Trip’. “As a historian and a storyteller, it’s important for me to document the story of Leafs Nation in their own words.
Together we are able to preserve these stories for generations to come.”
