Former Maple Leaf Gardens equipment manager Gordon Stuckless pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting boys, luring them with promises of hockey tickets and sports memorabilia.

Stuckless, 47, was charged with 22 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault. He pleaded guilty to all counts and is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 10.

Stuckless told the Ontario Court, general division, that he abused 24 boys between the ages of 11 and 15 from 1969 to 1988.

The offenses took place in the offices and locker room of a Toronto public school where he was a gym teacher.
