Darryl Sittler is one of the greatest players to ever wear the Toronto Maple Leaf uniform. The former centreman was Toronto's first choice in the 1970 Amateur Draft, and he embarked on a career that led him to the top of the Leafs' All-Time Points and Goal Scoring List.
The native of Kitchener, Ontario may well be remembered for two of the most remarkable performances in the history of the National Hockey League. On February 7, 1976, he scored six goals and added four assists for an NHL record total of 10 points in a game. That spring, he joined Maurice Richard in hockey history by recording five goals in one playoff game. He also scored one of the most famous goals in hockey history, the overtime goal against Czechoslovakia to win the 1976 Canada Cup.

Our evening with Darryl Sittler was incredible. Many of our guests were very nervous to meet him especially those who were his biggest fans. He is such a down to earth person that he made everyone feel very comfortable. His speech was full of wit and humor, but also very moving as he recounted many experiences with young children who were dying of cancer. He also told us about the highlight of his life at the time, and his hero, Terry Fox. He impressed the audience with his determination, and his encouragement for all to make a difference in someone’s life.
