1945/46

Here's the newest addition to the Maple Leaf Programme Project, my second one from the 1945/46 campaign. This one is from January 1946 and was sold during the Ice Follies shows that took over the Gardens for a stint. On the cover is a fantastic image (as they all were back then) of Leaf Gordie Drillon.

                                           

Inside the old programs, there's usually lots of nice old advertisements like the one above. Inside the front cover is a great full-colour ad for British American Motor Oil and inside is a full-page ad for a necessity of the day, Brylcreem.

 A large section of the program is devoted to the Ice Follies, but there is still five articles about hockey including the one below on how Russia has begun to play hockey.

 Finally, a cool add for CCM showing three of the main trophies in hockey.
