In case you ever wondered how a Toronto Maple Leaf goalie wound up recording a Canadian Christmas classic, here's the story.

That time when a Mississauga hockey legend had an unlikely hit Christmas song

"Bower, who did a number of promotional appearances around Toronto and surrounding areas to promote sales of the record, said he never could live down the song, especially in the Leafs’ dressing room where teammates would urge him to sing a few choruses every so often…mostly often. 

“If you thought (Eddie) Shack and (Tim) Horton were tough on the ice, you should have heard what they were like when they wanted you to sing after a tough loss to Montreal,” said Bower to an audience of eager listeners many years ago."
