When the Toronto Maple Leafs won their first two games of the season in early October, a correspondent for the satirical television show 22 Minutes sought out “one of God’s spokespeople” to discover whether or not the team had a prayer of making the playoffs.
“Prayer is good,” said Rev. Will Ingram, minister at St. Andrew’s in downtown Toronto, who was featured in the short spoof. “I’m all in favour of prayer. But when it comes to hockey, scoring goals can be more effective than prayer.”
The segment was broadcast on Oct. 12, and is archived at cbc.ca.
