We tried to be selfish and keep the chocolates strictly in the grasp of the sport department, but the mood of the festive season took over, and the treats were shared among the entire staff. Needless to say, everyone appreciated the gesture. Thank you. MAPLE LEAFS CHRISTMAS CARD -- The timing couldn't have been more appropriate. As we are typing this into the. computer on Monday afternoon, a Christmas card from Oshawa lawyer Terry Kelly arrived. The card depicts a Toronto Maple Leafs stocking hung by a fireplace on the front. Inside the card was a full color picture of the entire team, complete with the autographs of each player. In the middle of the second row stands Terry, who is on the Board of Directors of the hockey club. From past discussions with Terry, we know that he is an avid reader of The Statesman. We wish him the best of the holiday season. Checkers Variety Novice Toros Split Pair The Major Novice Toros split a pair of York-Sirncoe league games in the past week.
