Goalie Harry Lumley (# 1) and left-winger Sid Smith (#8) appear in this holiday photo from 1954. Lumley and Smith were Leafs stars of the era. Together they were part of the Stanley Cup winning 1950 team. “Apple Cheeks” Lumley looks on as “Muff” Lumley hangs an ornament on a Christmas Tree. This photo, in its original frame, hung at the Maple Leaf Gardens for many years. The Gardens is one of the NHL’s original palaces of hockey.
