King Leary

Ninety year old Percival Leary is invited to travel to King Leary night at the Toronto Gardens to make a commercial for ginger ale. He is accompanied by his alcoholic roommate, Blue Herman, and an orderly from the Home. While this is the narrative’s vehicle, most of the story is reminiscence about the friends, family and career of Leary, the King of hockey. Leary’s memories revolve around an unlikely trio who meet accidentally and go on to careers in professional hockey.
