Introduction

The Toronto Maple Leafs have not won a Stanley cup since 1967a burden that long-suffering fans have regrettably had to bear. Ron Bailey, the new director of player personnel for the Leafs, is more than frustrated with his beloved team, who last won the prestigious title when he was just three. Unfortunately, Ron worries that the cynical Canadian fans and media who fear it may be another forty years before the Leafs win another one might be right.

The Uncovering

Just as he is about to give up hope, Bailey accidentally uncovers a possible reason for the Leafs long droughta curse that has been supposedly placed on the team by the father of Dale McCaine, a former player who, due to tragic circumstances, never had the opportunity to play for a cup. As Baileys curiosity peaks, he asks for a meeting with the feisty and feeble Doug McCainewho asks for a second chance for his deceased son to play for the Stanley Cup in Maple Leaf Gardens. Only then will he lift his curse.
