  1. And Rivet got a penalty for removing his sweater? WHAT?!

    Must have been a crappy Maple Leafs sweater from Mr. Eaton. Hopefully moths might come and eat it.

    One day, my Montreal Canadiens sweater had become too small; then it got torn and had holes in it. My mother said:“If you wear that old sweater people are going to think we're poor!” Then she started to leaf through the catalog the Eaton company sent us in the mail every year. My mother was proud. She didn't want to buy our clothes at the general store; the only things that were good enough for us were the latest styles from Eaton's catalog. My mother didn't like the order forms included with the catalog; they were written in English and she didn't understand a word of it. To order my hockey sweater, she did as she usually did; she took out her writing paper and wrote in her gentle schoolteacher's hand: “Cher Monsieur Eaton, would you be kind enough to send me a Canadiens' sweater for my son who is ten years old and a little too tall for his age and Docteur Robitaille thinks he's a little too thin? I'm sending you three dollars and please send me what's left if there's anything left. I hope your wrapping will be better than last time.”
