“It wasn’t an easy decision to part with my moustache after nearly 18 years but if there was one cause I would do it for, this is it,” said Clark. “Hopefully it will inspire men across Leafs Nation to take the time to visit their doctor and get checked out.”

Last week, Movember co-founder, Adam Garone joined Clark and representatives from all four of MLSE’s teams to help kick off MLSE’s Movember campaign. Current Leafs participating this year are Rob Brown, Cody Franson, Jonas Gustavsson and Colton Orr. The month-long campaign will see numerous MLSE players, coaches, staff and personalities serve as walking, talking billboards as they raise awareness by prompting conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

MLSE’s Movember team, “MOple Leaf Sports”, has four Ambassadors – Maple Leafs alumni Wendel Clark, Toronto Raptors Head Coach Dwane Casey, Toronto FC Alumni and Academy Junior Team Head Coach Jim Brennan and Toronto Marlies goalie Ben Scrivens. Each has their own team on the MOple Leaf Sports network page on the Movember website which fans are encouraged to support or join.

“We feel that this is a great cause that our staff and players feel strongly about and it speaks to our core audience,” said Tom Anselmi, executive vice-president and chief operating officer, MLSE. “There are tens of thousands of men over 40 watching our teams on a regular basis, and by using all of our teams and media platforms we really hope we can bring this important message to the widest possible audience.”

In addition to the awareness and fundraising work of the MOple Leaf Sports Movember team, the Maple Leafs will host a Movember Awareness Night on November 15 when they play host to the Phoenix Coyotes. Movember messaging will also be featured prominently across all of MLSE’s broadcast platforms leading up to and during the month of November.

Adam Garone, Movember’s co-founder and CEO, commented at last week’s MLSE Movember campaign launch that, “Having MLSE come on board like this and put men’s health at the forefront of the sports lovers’ agenda is epic. It is an honour to have such a Canadian institution helping to change the face of men’s health.”

First introduced at the start of the 1967 NHL playoffs, the Maple Leafs captured the Stanley Cup that spring and went on to wear it for the following three campaigns. Some of the attributes of the sweater include; a solid, snow white, wool-felt, 11-point Maple Leaf crest similar to the Maple Leaf on the Canadian Flag as the country celebrated its centennial year in 1967, felt fabric numbers and lettering, one set of thin-wide-thin stripes adorning the waist and both elbows, no shoulder patches, and a six-eyelet lace at the front of the neck. Pants
adorned with a new white vertical stripe along the sides will also be worn by the hockey club for games in which the third sweater will be used.

In a recent poll of over 1,000 Maple Leafs fans, the 2011-12 third sweater was favoured by 45% of voters when asked to choose between historical sweaters from other eras in team history.
Toronto fans will have their first opportunity to catch the Maple Leafs in the uniform on October 6 when the Montreal Canadiens visit Air Canada Centre in the season opener. The third sweater will be worn 14 times in the regular season.

The third sweater is available for purchase exclusively at Real Sports Apparel at Maple Leaf Square until October 3.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will wear their third sweater uniform for the following games in 2011-12:

• October 6 vs. Montreal
• October 29 vs. Pittsburgh
• November 5 vs. Boston
• November 12 vs. Ottawa
• November 19 vs. Washington
• December 3 at Boston
• December 5 at New York Rangers
• December 17 vs. Vancouver
• January 7 vs. Detroit
• January 13 at Buffalo
• February 4 at Ottawa
• February 29 at Chicago
• March 24 vs. New York Rangers
• March 31 vs. Buffalo
