Former Leafs goalie performing at Lollapalooza
Lollapalooza is a massive 4 day music festival that takes place annually in Chicago's Grant Park. The event brings in all sorts of musical acts, from heavy metal to pop to hip hop to Electronic music. This year's headliners include Metallica, Green Day, Dua Lipa, and J. Cole.
If you look down the list, and I mean way down the list, you'll find an artist named Bucky Cheds. Bucky is an electronic music artist who is better known as Garret Sparks. That's right, the Garret Sparks that lead the Toronto Marlies to a Calder Cup before a brief and unsuccessful stint with the Maple Leafs.
Sparks did not leave Toronto a popular player, as many fans were upset that he was kept over beloved Leafs backup Curtis McElhinney. McElhinny went on to win a Stanley Cup as Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup in Tampa Bay before retiring from pro hockey. Sparks bounced around the NHL and AHL after leaving the Leafs, playing only 3 games, 1 with Chicago and 2 with Los Angeles.
If you're planning on going to Lollapalooza, be sure you don't miss Bucky Cheds. I haven't checked out his music yet, but who could forget the classic Garret Sparks song from his time in Toronto.
