A nice honor to a couple of players. Wendel Clark and Doug Gilmour’s numbers will be raised to the rafters this upcoming season in Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Clark’s #17 on Nov. 22 and Gilmour’s #93 on Jan. 31. They will join those of Syl Apps, Ted Kennedy, Walter ‘Turk’ Broda, Johnny Bower, Tim Horton, George Armstrong, Charlie Conacher, Frank Mahovlich, Darryl Sittler, Clarence ‘Hap’ Day, Leonard ‘Red’ Kelly and Borje Salming.
Seeing those names reminds me of a few years back. I was in a internet chat room and saw a guy with the ‘handle’ Tim Horton. Always looking to talk hockey, I say to him; “hockey fan huh?” He responds, ” What? I like donuts.” Doh, too many people only know the name as a coffee-donut shop. Too bad they never heard of or saw the real guy play hockey.
