If he time travels back to 1984 he's going to hear it from me. Who could trust the team being in the hands or skates of a kid named Why-zerman with pretty boy hair.

Book "recommendation", although not a pleasant topic. We Breed Lions by Rick Westhead. Published in November 2025, just finished reading it. Even people familiar with stories about Logan Mailloux, assault of Kyle Beach, Dan Carcillo, the London Five, hazing, etc. should be disturbed by new revelations in this book and how deep and wide is the problem.

https://www.amazon.com/We-Breed-Lions-Confronting-Troubled/dp/1039012930

In We Breed Lions, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Rick Westhead does a deep-dive into the state of hockey in Canada today. He gives voice to those who have been sexually assaulted by hockey players, revealing the struggles they've had with local police officials in their efforts to seek justice. He also goes inside the dressing room to find out how attitudes of misogyny and homophobia continue to flourish, and speaks to former players who were forced to perform degrading acts of initiation in order to “be one of the guys.”

Looming large in Westhead's extraordinary reporting are the gatekeepers of the game—league officials, team owners and members of the sport's governing bodies—who are reluctant to impose change from the outside and willing to sacrifice the well-being of their players and the community for profit.

Westhead offers hope for hockey's future, profiling those individuals and organizations who are committed to educating players around issues of consent, putting an end to hazing and redefining what it means to be a man on and off the ice. Featuring a Foreword by bestselling author Stephen Brunt, We Breed Lions is must-reading for parents, players and all of those who love the game of hockey and want to see it get to a better place.

There's a chance that Leafs Elimination Day and April Fool's Day happen at the same time!
