The organization was founded in 1963 by Brian McKee and Les Costello , two priests from Northern Ontario . Costello was a former professional hockey player, who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1940s before his Ordination as a priest. Originally intended as a one-off event, the Fathers became a popular phenomenon, and the organization is still active as of 2005 . The Flying Fathers have played 907 games, and have raised over $4 million. Their single-game fundraising record is $240,000 at a game in Toronto . EXTERNAL LINKS |
