Hello and Welcome to Nothing Ever Happens in Canada, but we know this is simply not true! I'm Canadian Girl, thanks for joining me today, for this sports adventure. I'm looking for Canada's biggest sports fans. Grab your favourite hockey jersey and lucky stick, as I tell you the tale of the missing Toronto Maple Leaf, Bill Barilko, who at just 24 yrs old would score the winning goal in game 5 of the Stanley Cup in OT. That one shot rockets him into complete stardom only to have it all suddenly end just 6 months later, when a fishing trip Bill went on goes bad. Join me now sports fans for this hockey tale, as we go looking for what happened to this missing Maple Leaf.
