Mike Wilson has assembled the greatest trove of hockey treasures on the planet aside from the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Just don’t refer to him as a ‘collector.’
Indeed the man known as the Ultimate Leafs Fan has amassed enough memorabilia over the past few decades to display the artifacts in the basement of the Toronto home that he shares with partner Debra Huet; an underground museum-like man cave simply referred to as “The Room.”
Many of the most significant, one-of-a-kind items are chronicled in his new book “Inside the Room with the Ultimate Leafs Fan”, co-authored by veteran Toronto Sun beat reporter Lance Hornby and fellow hockey historian Paul Patskou.
