He stayed out of the spotlight, but Leafs fans know J.P. Bickell
cast a long shadow. A self-made mining magnate and the man who kept
the Maple Leafs in Toronto and financed Maple Leaf Gardens, J.P.
Bickell lived an extraordinary and purposeful life. As one of the
most important industrialists in Canadian history, Bickell left his
mark on communities across the nation. He was a cornerstone of the
Toronto Maple Leafs, which awards the J.P. Bickell Memorial Award
to recognize outstanding service to the organization. Bickell's
story is also tied up with some of the most famous Canadians of his
day, including Mitchell Hepburn, Roy Thomson, and Conn Smythe.
Through his charitable foundation, he has been a key benefactor of
the Hospital for Sick Children, and his legacy continues to
transform Toronto. Yet, though Bickell was so important both to
Toronto and the Maple Leafs, the story of his incredible life is
today largely obscure. This book sets the record straight,
presenting the definitive story of his rise to prominence and his
lasting legacy - on the ice and off.
