Roch Carrier

Roch Carrier – November 19, 2001 – Roch Carrier, 10 years old, in the dreaded Toronto Maple Leafs sweater that spawned his classic children’s story ‘The Hockey Sweater’. This photograph was taken by his mother in the streets of his hometown of Sainte-Justine-de-Dorchester, Que., in 1947. ‘I’m not happy about wearing the Leafs sweater,’ says Carrier, a lifelong Canadiens and Maurice Richard fan , ‘but she must have told me to smile.’ CREDIT: COURTESY ROCH CARRIER.
