stouflvffle suntribune thursday sept 6 2007 5 you must be mats sundin right when 39-year- old jeremi ah knight walks into stouffvilles tim hortons heads turn patrons stare and kids stammer well whatdyaknow its mats sundin folks say no it cant be claim dis believers but i tell you it is look hes wearing no 13 his leaf sweater with a c for cap tain argue others who else can it be as tensions mounts i attempt to learn the truth hi mats i say may i have your autograph he smiles a sundin- like smile that lights up the room sorry he says but im not mats sundin i only look like him sure like his twin broth er i say to myself autographs for kids and so it is everywhere jeremiah goes adults and children line up to shake his hand take his picture say hello or just stare he enjoys it but the fame is fleeting he quickly admits hes not the hockey superstar admirers think he is that said his size age manner voice and smile are so similar little wonder people are drawn to him like moths to a flame born in winnipeg jere miah vividly recalls watching darryl sittler and the maple leafs on black and white tv even at age 5 and living out west the leafs were my favourite team he remem bers and still are sundin is his favourite player jeremiah knows almost as much about sundin as sundin knows about himself when he was born 1971 when he came to the leafs 1994 when he was named captain 1997 and more his memory banks a verita ble mats sundin scrapbook while an inch shorter sixfeet threeinches tall and 13 pounds lighter 215 their similarities are so close theyre uncanny often second glances are not convincing even to a for mer leaf such as todd gill roaming around with jim thomas he stared at me and called me mats jeremiah laughs and a guy following in a jeep he passed me then came back to have another look he said with or without his leaf jersey hes had people stop him on the street on one occasion he autographed pucks for more than an hour even though he made his true identity known i guess the kids thought that was as close as theyre ever going to get to the real thing he said another time while skat ing on the rink outside city hall he could see people star ing from windows above at ground level children flocked around seeking auto graphs i kept telling them no im not mats sundin i just look like him but they want ed my autograph anyway has never met mats the real mats sundin is very much aware of his off ice twin jeremiah has been told while amused by the notoriety jeremiah admits somewhat sadly hes never met his counterpart and would dearly love to do so and have a picture taken of the two of them the nhl is pretty pro tective of its players he says still he hopes some time somewhere this can be arranged he sundin seems like such a real nice guy he notes a real character guy to date jeremiah has attended only one toronto game at the air canada cen tre there he caught the eye of leaf generalmanager john ferguson who he said looked then looked again when the sundin similarity clicked in his presence was also picked up for but an instant by a tv cameraman however these occur rences fall short of his one intense desire to meet his lookalike
