All the usual sources vary on the correct spelling of Mark's last name. Does anyone recall which is correct? It looks like we have some missing UER notation if it was always "Laforest". ------------------------------- * Ed * L8 * Cards in my personal Collection are unavailable *

He has spelled it "Laforest" on his Twitter account so I'd go with that one.

Plus, his autograph is "Laforest". ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

It's Laforest small f, most fans/friends just call him Trees. He's not French (Forest is Foret in French) but that might have something to do with the confusion?

Here's a clip of him in a goalie fight when he played for the Maple Leafs I found on youtube (Warning this video contains Violence and is not suitable for all viewers) https://youtu.be/LQJmXL0MTKs?t=181

If you're going to post a Leafs goalie fight. You need to do the Felix Potvin beatdown on Ron Hextall.

For those unaware, Hextall was the big bad goon goalie. Potvin is a quiet mild manner incredibly unassuming character.

They got into it. Potvin absolutely curbstomped Hextall. I'm not sure the ringing in Hextall's head ended for a year.

Ok sure, if there's ever a posting about Felix the Cat and I remember, I will.
