Book Description

Tim Horton was the rock-steady rear guard who captained the Toronto Maple Leafs for 18 years and led them to four Stanley Cups in the 1960s, including the franchise's last Cup win in 1967. Horton's premature death deprived the hockey world of a legend, but this book rightfully returns him to the spotlight. Dozens of vintage photographs and complete stats complete this tribute to an amazing athlete from hockey's golden era.

4 out of 5 stars Nice collection that gives one a feel for a hockey great........2004-05-04

This book is a collection of articles concerning Tim Horton. Very complimentary of the man and player, the articles definitely give you a feel for the time and play of Tim Horton.

Known to most of us because of the donuts (and they are really good!), this collection allows a glimpse of the man as well. I would recommend this book for those who want a feel for 50 and 60s hockey, as well as those who want the feel of the times.

5 out of 5 stars An all-star book about an all-time defenseman.......2001-06-07

To today's young hockey players and fans, the name Tim Horton elicits thoughts of coffee and donuts; to an older generation of fans, the name Tim Horton brings memories of one of the greatest defenseman ever to play the sport.

Tim Horton was the strongest hockey player of his generation, perhaps of all-time. He was not a goon, however -- he would end fights simply by wrapping his muscular arms around much-bigger players and pulling them apart. He was known for his generosity and gratitude. His teammates made gentle fun of his poor eyesight, calling him "Cousin Weak-Eyes." Horton and Bobby Baun anchored a Leaf defense unmatched in team history.

Tragically, Tim Horton was killed in a car accident in February 1974. Hockey lost one of its heroes.

Craig MacInnis's REMEMBERING TIM HORTON is a terrific look back at the man and the legend. MacInnis and his roster of veteran journalists and writers bring us back to the days when honor meant more than stardom, when pride and winning meant more than a contract hold-out and who's picked higher in the NHL draft, when the Leafs were fighting to winning the Stanley Cup instead of hurrying to pack up their golf bags a few weeks earlier than the Cup champions.

4 out of 5 stars Gives insight of a great player through unique perspective........2001-02-09

This is a great book for those interested in hockey behind the scenes. It is very interesting to read stories told by people such as Punch Imlach etc. about Tim Horton off the ice, in the dressing room and family man. This book is not only for those hockey fans of the 6 team days, but modern day hockey fanatics as well.
