gardens of shame
The book I chose was “Gardens of Shame: The Tragedy of Martin Kruze and the Sexual Abuse at Maple Leaf Gardens”. ... When his father had been hired by the Maple Leaf gardens to do the drapery inside the Gardens, he became good friends with Lou Broda. Lou invited Arnie’s brother Gary to attend a Maple Leafs games all the time at the Gardens. ... He continued to sexually abuse Arnie many times in and outside of the Maple Leaf Gardens. ... One day he introduced Arnie to an other employee of the Gardens, Gordon Stuckless. Hannah and Stuckless continued to abuse Arnie in and outside of the Gardens. ... One time Stuckless took Arnie into Harold Ballard’s (Owner of the Gardens at the time) office and sexually abused him in front of Ballard while he masturbated. The owner of the Gardens was well aware of the sexual abuse going on. ... After he joined he started gathering information about the abuse at the Gardens. ... He sent out messages to all other victims of the Gardens abuse and a lot more came to the police, most telling the first person they have ever told.
