What ever happened to Gary Leeman

[renbergfan19]

I was just wondering if he got into coaching or still lives in Toronto because it seems that after he got traded from Toronto he was never heard from again I know he retired in something like '99 after playing in Europe

Leeman

Hi,

I'm not sure what Gary is doing for a living. I know he lives near Caledon, Ontario on a 50 acre farm. I sent him a letter earlier this year with 3 cards to be autographed. He responded immediately, probably had the cards back within a week.

His address is:

Gary Leeman,
15158 Mississauga Rd.,
R. R. #1,
Terra Cotta, ON,
L0P 1N0.


Good luck,

Neil

Gary is one of the nicest guys in hockey and will usually sign whatever you have but he will not sign Montreal cards. Just thought I would give everybody a heads up on that one.

Did he give a reason why?? He did win the Cup with the Habs in 1993!!
I don't care just curious......

Leeman Montreal Cards

Gary did not give a reason why he would not do them. I saw him at a charity game last February. I had my usual sheet of cards out and he did every card but the Montreal ones so I assumed he wouldn't do them. Then I saw him at a card show in the Detroit area and I thought he might do them for the $5.00 fee. He would still not do them and said he does not sign Montreal cards. No explaination other than that yet he would do Montreal pucks and photos. I didn't get it but he was so nice about it I was not going to push it farthur.

I heard that he felt he was treated unfairly by the organization when he was there and refuses to have anything to do with Montreal. I also heard Mike Kean is the same way!

Mike Keane

Mike was very bitter about Montreal cards for years but he has now lightened up and will sign them.

Managed to get Leeman c/o his home address in Barrie, and he signed a photo of him with the Habs in about 2 weeks, I was very surprised to get it back

Habs Photo

Like I said he signs Montreal photos and pucks but not the cards.

Gary's address

You know what guys, I met Gary this weekend at a fundraiser tournament and yes he is a great guy. In fact I think that he deserves to have his address taken off this post. This is not the sort of thing that should be made public. Hopefully, whoever put it there will kindly take it off.
thanks.

umm....

even if the post was removed there would still be other ways of finding it. and if the players dont want to respond to fan mail then they can just RTS them.

Address

There is no invasion of privacy by sending a piece of mail to a person's home. They completely have the right to refuse it or throw it in the garbage. Addresses in the United States at least are public information and can be accessed through legal search databases and city records. This forum simply gives other collectors the opportunity to access players that may live thousands of miles away for an autograph. Its a great way to build a collection of signatures. So how is it not fair to a player?
