Description
(1930 - 1974) Tim Horton was born in Cochrane, Ontario, Canada on January 12, 1930. He was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1949 and performed as one of the steadiest defensemen on the blueline throughout his 22 years in the National Hockey League. He played in 1,446 regular season games, scoring 115 goals and 403 assists for a total of 518 points.
He played 17 full seasons and 3 partial seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He served a short stint with the New York Rangers before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. His final years in hockey were with the Buffalo Sabres, where he played a major role in developing the team's younger players.
Tim Horton played on four Stanley Cup teams, was an All-Star player six times, and was honoured in 1969 with the J.P. Bickell Memorial Cup in recognition of his outstanding service to the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club. George Armstrong says of Tim, "No finer person, teammate or hockey player ever lived." In Bobby Hull's words, "Few players brought more dedication or honour to the game. He was my idea of a pro."

Thank you for your lovely comment Tony! Tim Hortons is HUGE in Canada and I know there are some Tims in the U.S. Today is actually the "grand opening" of the Tim Horton's Museum in Hamilton, Ontaario. The museum replaces the first Tim Horton's Coffee Shop in Canada. Hockey and Tim Horton's seems to go hand in hand here in Canada. Helps keep those parents warm while watching their children play.
